The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. After many weeks, he managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements. Then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger. "Lord, how could you do this to me!" he cried. Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. "But, how did you know I was here?" he asked. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied. . . . Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground, it just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of God.
