A true story from an Irish Sunday School Teacher..
I was testing children in my Dublin 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 garden, and kept everything tidy, would that get me into heaven?'
Again, the answer was ' NO! '
If I gave sweets to all the children, and loved
my husband, would that get me into heaven?
Again, they all answered ' NO!
'I was just bursting with pride for them. I continued,
' Then how can I get into heaven?
'A six year-old boy shouted out:
"YUV GOTTA BE FOOKN ' DEAD...."
It's a curious race, the Irish.
