I was testing children in my Glasgow Sunday School class to see if they understood the concept of getting into Heaven.
I asked them, “If I sold my house, my car, had a big 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 lawn and kept everything tidy, would that get me into Heaven?”
Again, the answer was, “No!”
By now I was starting to smile. “Well then if I was kind to all the little animals and birds and fed them every day, gave sweets and toys to all the children and said a prayer for everyone, would that get me into Heaven?”
Again, they all answered, “No!”
I was just bursting with pride for them. I then put the question out to the whole class, “Well then how can I get into Heaven?”
It was then that six year old Wallis shouted out, “Yuv got tae be fukin’ dead !”
It kinda brought a wee tear tae your eye, din it !
