Blessings come in disguise
The only survivor of a shipwreck washed up on a small uninhabited island.
He prayed feverishly to 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. He felt relatively safe that this hut would protect him from wild animals and wind.
But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, with the smoke rolling up to the sky.
The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stung with grief and anger.
"God, 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.
"How did you know I was here?" Asked the weary man to his rescuers.
"We saw your smoke signal," they replied.
NEVER FORGET THAT BLESSINGS COME IN DISGUISE.
