Subject: inspirational read

this was sent to me today, some things come when you really seem to need them, strange how life works, anyway thought i'd share it with you.....

Sometimes we all need to be reminded ... read on!
>>>>> The Little Grass Hut
>>>>> The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small,
>>>>> uninhabited island.
>>>>> He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and everyday he scanned
>>>>> the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.
>>>>> Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of
>>>>> driftwood to protect himself from the elements and to
>>>>> store his few possessions.
>>>>> One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his
>>>>> little hut in flames with smoke rolling up to the sky.
>>>>> The worst had happened! Everything was lost!
>>>>> He was stunned with disbelief, grief, and anger.
>>>>> "God, how could you do this to me?" he cried.
>>>>> Early the next day he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was
>>>>> approaching the island. It had come to rescue him.
>>>>> "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers.
>>>>> "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.
>>>>> Moral of the story:
>>>>> It's easy to get discouraged when things are going badly, but we
>>>>> shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives
>>>>> even in the midst of pain and suffering.
>>>>> Remember that, the next time your little hut seems to be burning to
>>>>> the ground.
>>>>> It just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of God.
