On-blessings
A man was on board a ship when fierce storms broke out.Soon , the ship capsized and the man was thrown into the fierce storms sea. After some time, he found that he was washed up, sick and exhausted, on a small and inhibited island .
He prayed feverishedly everyday for God to rescue him. The man eventually managed to build a little hut from the sun and rain and he stored in it, some of his few possestions. One day however , after his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The hut was almost all that he had left in the world, and now it was gone! The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger.
"God, how could you do this to me !" he cried .
"I pray to You everyday ,I seek Your help, and yet You make this happen to me!"
Early the next day, the man was awakened by the horn of a ship that was approuching the island. It had come to rescue him!
"How did you know I was here?" the man asked his rescuers in amazement.
"I have been on this island for months and no ship has ever passed by close enough."
"We saw your smoke signal,"they replied.
The man's burning hut was the blessing that eventually enabled his rescue. In the midst of pain and suffering , when things are going badly , it is easy to feel discouraged. But the next time our little hut is burning to the ground -remember it could be just a signal, and a blessing from God.
