How do you get to heaven?

Someone emailed this to me and I thought I would share:


I was testing the children


In my 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 yard,

And kept everything neat and tidy,
Would that get me into Heaven?'



Again, the answer was, 'NO!'

By now I was starting to smile.


Hey, this was fun!

'Well, then, if I was kind to animals


And gave candy


To all the children,



And loved my husband,


Would that get me into Heaven?'


I asked them again.
Again, they all answered, 'NO!'


I was just bursting with pride for them.
'Well,' I continued, 'then how can I get into Heaven?'

A five-year-old boy shouted out,


'YOU GOTTA BE DEAD.'
