What I read to them today:

I was shocked, confused and 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, "Whats 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 is everyone so quiet, so somber - give me a clue"
"Hush my child" he said, THEY'RE ALL IN SHOCK.
NO ONE THOUGHT THEY'D BE SEEING YOU
JUDGE NOT!

Remember ...just going to churche makes you no more of a saint than going to a garage makes you a mechanic!

Every saint has a PAST and every sinner has a future

P.s. I am not an overley religious person nor do I attend church. But when I am around the generation of elderly struggling with dementia and alzheimers it gives me a faith that is indescribable..in there is where I find the peace I look for. They are heaven for me.and have taught me lessons about judging..they teach me something every day. Yet when my time with them ends each morning its ME they come to thank for the laughs and the stories..when its THEM who should be thanked for paving my path today!
Thanks
