And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
So they waved over to their friends in the other boat like 'get over here, we need help!' Their crew came over and they filled both boats with so many fish that the boats were literally starting to go under from the weight.
Sometimes God's blessings are so big you need your whole squad to help you handle them.
