How to get to Heaven in Ireland
I was testing children in me Dublin Sunday school class to see if they could understand the concept of getting to heaven.
I asked them, 'If I sold my house and my car, had a big jumble sale and gave all me money to the church, would that get myself into heaven?'
'NO!' the children answered.
'If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the garden, and kept everything tidy, would that get myself into heaven?'
Again, the answer was 'No!'
By now I had a smile on me face.
' Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave sweeties to all the children, and loved me husband, would that get myself into heaven?'
Again, they all answered 'No!'
I was just bursting with pride for them.
I continued, 'Then how can I get into heaven?'
