Grace of God Quote

When Your Hut's On Fire...

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabitedisland. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him. 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. One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. He felt the worst had happened, and everything was lost. He was stunned with disbelief, grief, and anger. He cried out, "God! How could you do this to me?" Early the next day, he was awakened by the sound of a ship 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.

The Moral of This Story: It's 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 our pain and suffering. Remember that the next time your little hut seems to be burning to the ground. It just may be a smoke signal that summons the Grace of God.

Quote of the week...

"Always listen to your doubts. Not just because they might teach you of your fears, but because, sometimes, they might teach you of your wisdom. And only through that wisdom will you find strength to accomplish the unthinkable, unimaginable and the undarable. You reach your dreams."

Quotes for the week

"Of course, anger can always be justified.
But then, so can forgiveness.
Just depends on how much more you want from the adventure."


"Always listen to your doubts. Not just because they might teach you of your fears, but because, sometimes, they might teach you of your wisdom."


"Don't be afraid. You needn't slay the beast nor scale the entire mountain. That's not how it's done. You only need to move through today. Think of the distance you've already covered. Focus on your strengths. Let each new step remind you of your freedom. Let every breath you take remind you of your power. Seek out friends and guides; they're anxious to help. You're not alone. You're understood. This road has been walked before. Dance life's dance, just a few steps at a time, and in the wink of an eye you will wonder to yourself, "What beast, what mountain? Was I having a dream?"


"Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.Just walk beside me and be my friend." --Albert Camus
