Not to mention any names, got this in email this morning and thought maybe some people on here should heed the advice.
I WAS SHOCKED...
I was shocked, confused, bewildered
as I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
by 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, 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.
"You see, it was My Blood, I shed
That Cleanses from all sin
I died for them, I died for you,
So all could come right in."
And why's everyone so quiet,
so somber? Give me a clue."
Hush, child," said He. "They're all in shock
No one thought they'd see you."
Judge NOT... and be kind - we're all in this together.
