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!

Lol…. pretty smart kids
Just so!
LOL! Thanks for the giggles, Nancy. Enjoy your Saturday!
You too, Jill! Have a great weekend.
Ha ha! Very good 🙂
Straight to the heart of the matter!
The Irish are so practical and wise! Thanks for the this morning’s hoot Nancy 💛
Yes . . . they don’t scrimp on common sense.
Awesome!
Practical wisdom!
That’s a very good point 🙂 You never know what kids are going to say!
This reminds me of the old Art Linkletter show, “Kids Say The Darnedest Things.”
The truth will always win out. Good one.
No beating around the bush!
They’ve been listening … 🙂
In class . . . and at keyholes, no doubt!
That’s exactly how you say it too!
Sounds better with an Irish accent, eh?
The little darling. LOLOL
No PC Whitewash filtering his thoughts!
The truth always comes from children’s mouths, sooner or later 🙂
They says what they mean and they mean what they says.
Loved it Nancy.
Yay!
Well, that WOULD be true!
A real straight-shooter!
What fun!!! Little one’s always say what they think, don’t they? Can’t denigh that he is right though. 🙂
Kids are such a hoot!
Should’ve seen that coming. 😀
If I’d been the teacher, I would have busted a gut!
Lol, priceless 😀
Kids can be so refreshing.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I’m still laughing …. 😀
Yay! Glad you enjoyed, Joanne. And glad that your shoulder is finally ON THE MEND!
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!
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!
don’t you just love how kids seem to have no need to be pc! 🙂
Yes! We are trained to conform to the norm from the earliest of ages. I love it when kids balk a bit!
Kids can be so funny at times. I think they’re best answers are often the ones where they’re completely in earnest.
I agree! Without artifice and filters . . . and totally in the NOW.
Exactly!
