I have had moments in my life that I think everything is going bad, that thre is not hope for me. Sometimes I thought that all the bad things only happened to me, but nooo, I was wrong, and this story made understand a lot of things. Is Your Hut Burning? (author unknown) 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. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. But 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. "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 of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied. It is easy to get discouraged when things are going bad. But we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering. Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground ---- it just may be a smoke signal that summons grace of God. Author Unknown - Shared by Dr. Gloria Jo Floyd It is a beautiful story that encourage me to go on. Have you feel like me one time in your life?

hi Rosa, thank you very much for sharing the story. I really need it for the moment The story is very inspiring. It is shows that God ways is not our ways so we don't have the reason to complain whatever comes in loves because God has a greater purpose with it to prove His love and greatness. Truly God is good, all the time. God bless.

Hi Rosa There are many occasions in my life when I felt that everything around is bad and I am worst. The last time was when I was bed-ridden in 2008 and almost had killed myself. I mentioned all this on another discussion from you. Ever since, I have relaized and felt positivity around me, and in any situation so far, the best that comes to rescue is - seeing and finding other people who are suffering more than me. I have learned that life is precious and I must live each and every moment - and personally, today, I live in moments rather than days.

Hi Rosa, you share a very nice story! so we should always remember that when life gets difficult, when everything turns bad always remember that even a turtle can win a race as long as he never gives up! Just faith with God and everything will be alright. If ever we feel that God is taking away something from our hands, don't be upset, He is only emptying our hands for us to receive something bigger and better.

It is in moments of toil and despair that the best stories are told by those that share theirs to those that listen with open hearts. Sometimes those longing for life's prizes when the dealings of the world do not bring happiness, peace and comfort but leave us feeling down. I want to remember the little stories that mean the most to me when I am being challenged - thanks for giving me such a thing and when my thoughts burn hopelessness I will try to remember this one.
