Who's In Heaven

Who's In Heaven

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 have make a mistake.

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.

Here is a different verson of that ...

I dreamt I died the other night and Heaven's gate opened wide. an angel with a bright halo ushered me inside.

And there to my astonishment stood folks I'd judged and labeled as quite unfit, of little worth and spiritually disabled.

Angry words rose to my lips but never were set free, ALL eyes showed astonishment, NO ONE EXPECTED ME..

LOL. Excellent! The flip side is a great indicator of what double standard hypocrites we all are when it comes to self perception.

Well, maybe no ME....
