Wisdom In A Funny Story

There was a flood, and an old woman watched as the water came closer to her house. A man in a boat came by and offered her to help her.

"Thank you," she said, smiling, "but the lord will save me."

The water rose higher, and she had to go to the second floor. Another boat came by, and the people in the boat went to the window to rescue her.

"I'm okay," she told them. "I have faith in the lord. He'll save me." The boat left without her.

She was on the roof finally, with the water swirling around her feet, and a helicopter came. She refused their help too, telling them that she had faith and the lord would save her. Soon afterwards, the water took her away and she drowned.

When the woman arrived in heaven, she stepped before God and, crying, asked him, "Why didn't you help me? I had faith in you!"

"Not help you!" God replied. "What do you mean? I sent you two boats and a helicopter!"
