This Is A Pretty Good Poem,
>
>
> 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.'
>
> JUDGE NOT.
>
> 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 Hmmmmmm!

I loved this poem. As a nurse at a jail, it really touched my heart. Most of the people in jail aren't bad people. They are people who have made bad choices. I always believe they will do better. I am going to give this to the jail minister so he can read the poem to them. Thanks for sharing Wendy

Thanks for sharing Lisa, its shows do not judge others because you made be surprise.

Yep great one!! Take the log out of your own eye before you start plucking out the splinters in someone else's eye...

None is perfect no not one!! I am so glad I am not perfect...I make mistakes.. lapses in judgement, but Praise God I am forgiven daily because I ask.. it is a gift...

Thank you so much for the reminder!!  You ARE a sweetheart
