Subject: Two Boats & a Helecopter
Message:
As requested: 2 boats and a helecopter This close works very well with people who want to think about it, pray about it, or doesn't really believe they are there for a reason. Here goes.You tell your customer this story.
There was a man named Bob who had complete faith in the lord. One day Bob found himself and his family in the midst of a great flood. The water started to come into the house so he moved his family upstairs. Pretty soon, the sheriff came by in a boat and said "Jump in and I'll bring you to safety." "Oh, No!" said Bob The Lord will save us. So the sheriff left.
The water rose higher and he moved his family to the roof. A fireman came by in a boat and said,"Jump in and I'll bring you to safety." "Oh, No!" said Bob, The Lord will save us. which Bob's wife replied "You can drown if you want Bob but me and the kids are going with the fireman". So they said their goodbyes and left.
The water rose more and Bob had to climb upon the chimmney. Bob shouted "Lord I have the highest faith, I know you will save me." A few minutes later a the Sheriff came by again in a helecopter and said," Climb in Bob and we'll rescue you." Bob replied,"I don't need rescueing, The Lord will save me". So the sheriff left and Bob drown.
When Bob got to heaven he asked God, "Lord how could you let me die, I had the ultimate faith." God replied, "Bob, are you stupid? I sent two boats and a helecopter."
It's great to have faith, but if you're here now I might be your boat and your new car your helecopter.
