How to Get to Heaven from Ireland January 14, 2017

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 little boy shouted out: “YUV GOTTA BE FOOKN’ DEAD.”

Aah . . . by George, he’s got it!

That’s a very good point 🙂 You never know what kids are going to say!

nrhatch - January 14, 2017

This reminds me of the old Art Linkletter show, “Kids Say The Darnedest Things.”

7. Ally Bean - January 14, 2017

The truth will always win out. Good one.

nrhatch - January 14, 2017

No PC Whitewash filtering his thoughts!

11. Tiny - January 14, 2017

The truth always comes from children’s mouths, sooner or later 🙂

nrhatch - January 14, 2017

They says what they mean and they mean what they says.

12. Don - January 14, 2017

A real straight-shooter!

14. mycraftylittlestitches - January 16, 2017

What fun!!! Little one’s always say what they think, don’t they? Can’t denigh that he is right though. 🙂

nrhatch - January 16, 2017

Kids are such a hoot!

15. L. Marie - January 16, 2017

Joanne Sisco - January 17, 2017

Thanks 🙂

Very funny! I learned a long time ago when my son was little that it’s best not to ask questions of children in church unless you’re really sure you know the answer. My son was one of dozens of children sitting up in front with the pastor (on stage) and the pastor asked, “So children…are you ready to hear a story?” And my son, about 8 years old, literally yelled at the top of his voice, “NO!” He told the truth! I like to think I thought it was funny, as I do now, but I was probably embarrassed. I can’t remember how I responded, but I’ve never forgotten the moment. LOL!

nrhatch - January 17, 2017

Questions like that are designed to steer kids in the same direction as the rest of the herd . . .

Glad that your son decided to steer his own shoes!

19. pix & kardz - January 17, 2017

don’t you just love how kids seem to have no need to be pc! 🙂

nrhatch - January 17, 2017

Yes! We are trained to conform to the norm from the earliest of ages. I love it when kids balk a bit!

20. Bun Karyudo - January 18, 2017

Kids can be so funny at times. I think they’re best answers are often the ones where they’re completely in earnest.

nrhatch - January 18, 2017

I agree! Without artifice and filters . . . and totally in the NOW.

Bun Karyudo - January 19, 2017

Exactly!
