A fishing fleet was caught in a terrible storm. When night came, none of the ships returned home. All families of those missing prayed God would bring them back safely. Things seemed to get worse when, that night, one of the homes in the village caught fire and burned to the ground.
But in the morning all of the ships sailed back into the harbor. Everyone rejoiced when they saw their men safely home—except the woman whose home had burned down.
Seeing her husband she cried out, “We’re ruined! Our home and everything we had was destroyed by a fire.”
Her husband responded. “Thank God for the fire! It was the light of our burning home that guided us.”
