Smoke Signal
The only survivor of a shipwreck 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 seemedforthcoming.Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hutout of driftwood to protect him from the elements andto store his few possessions.
Then one day, afterscavenging for food, he arrived home to find his littlehut in flames, with the smoke rolling up to the sky.The worst had happened; everything was lost. He wasstung with grief and anger. "God, how could you do thisto me!" he cried.Early the next day, however, he was awakened by thesound of a ship that was approaching the island. It hadcome to rescue him."How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man ofhis rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.Never forget that blessings do come in disguise
