It was a devastating shipwreck. Only one man survived by clinging to a piece of Wood from the ship that floated to the shore of a desolate island. In order to survive, he built for himself a hut with leaves of palm trees and wood he was able to find.
One morning he went out searching for food when he saw clouds of smoke arising from the location of his hut. Hurriedly he ran to his to the hut only to find that it had been consumed by fire.
That night he slept little. When he awakened the following morning, he was amazed to find a ship anchored off shore. As he stood looking in disbelief, he noticed that the ship was lowering a small life boat. As it came to shore one of the sailors said, “We saw your smoke signal and wondered if everything was OK.” After he told them what happened, they took him back to the ship and eventually he returned to his family.
God works in mysterious ways we just have to trust and have faith knowing every disappointment is a blessing in disguise.
