Update: The Heaven I'm Headed to

Check out this email I got today.......

I was testing the children in my Sunday school class

to see if they understood the concept of getting to heaven.

I asked them,

"If I sold my house and my car,

had a big garage sale and gave all my money to the church,

Would that get me into Heaven?"

"NO!" the children answered."

If I cleaned the church every day,

mowed the yard, and kept everything neat and tidy,

would that get me into Heaven?"

Again, the answer was, "NO!"

By now I was starting to smile.

Hey, this was fun!

"Well, then, if I was kind to animals

and gave candy to all the children,

and loved my husband,

would that get me into Heaven?" I asked them again.

Again, they all answered, "NO!"

I was just bursting with pride for them.

"Well," I continued, "then how can I get into Heaven?"

A five-year-old boy shouted out,

"YOU GOTTA BE DEAD."

I thought this was super cute. A friend forwarded it to me, and I wanted to post it because of the previous post I did about heaven and who gets to go.
