Humbled!

[Bigrock33]

Sent by my Aunt who has had "quite a life", she is almost 90 yrs old, been there, done that many times over. Just wanted to share.

I was shocked, confused, bewildered
As I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
Nor the lights or its decor.



But it was the folks in Heaven
Who made me sputter and gasp--
The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
The alcoholics and the trash.



There stood the kid from seventh grade
Who swiped my lunch money twice!
Next to him was my old neighbor
Who never said anything nice.



Herb, who I always thought
Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
Looking incredibly well.



I nudged Jesus, 'What's the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.
How'd all these sinners get up here?
God must've made a mistake.



'And why's everyone so quiet,
So somber - give me a clue.'
'Hush, child,' He said, 'they're all in shock.
No one thought they'd be seeing you.'


Remember...Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian
any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.



Every saint has a PAST...
Every sinner has a FUTURE

Maybe there's hope for me yet!?? If not....we'll party in the basement!

I've always felt that if all the people who tell me they are going to heaven are really the ones who will be there I think I would choose another location! Fortunately, I'm not the judge, and neither are they!
