I'm sorry to hear that Donna.
My sister sent me something a few days ago. I think it fits this occasion.
IS YOUR HUT ON FIRE?
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.
One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his
little hut in flames, and soon there was nothing left. The worst
had happened, and everything was lost. He was stunned with disbelief,
grief, and anger. "God, how could you do this to me?" he cried.
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.
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
pain,and suffering.
Remember this the next time your hut seems to be burning to the
ground.It just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of God.

Know Who Feels Like Their Hut Is On Fire Today
