Work is paid
Work is paid
A minister dies and is waiting in line at
the Pearly Gates. Ahead of him is a guy who's dressed in sunglasses, a loud
shirt, leather jacket, and jeans.
Saint Peter addresses this guy, "Who are
you, so that I may know whether or not to admit you to the Kingdom of
Heaven?" The guy replies, "I'm Joe Cohen, taxi-driver, of New York
City." Saint Peter consults his list. He smiles and says to the
taxi-driver, "Take this silken robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom
of Heaven."
The
taxi-driver goes into Heaven with his robe and staff, and it's the minister's
turn.
He
stands erect and booms out, "I am Joseph Snow, pastor of Saint Mary's for
the last forty-three years." Saint Peter consults his list. He says to the
minister, "Take this cotton robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom of
Heaven." "Just a minute," says the minister. "That man was
a taxi-driver and he gets a silken robe and golden staff. How can this
be?"
"Up here, we work by results," says
Saint Peter. "While you preached, people became tired, could not but slept;
while he drove, people enjoyed happy journey, could not but prayed."

The Policeman had stopped the man for obvious drunken driving, but since the guy had a clean record, he made him park the car and took him home in the patrol car. "Are you sure this is your house?" the cop asked as they drove into a rather fashionable neighborhood.
"Shertainly!" said the drunk, "and if you'll just open the door f'me, I can prove it to ya." Entering the living room, he said, "You shee that piano? Thash mine. You shee that giant television set? Thash mine too. ...Now follow me."
The police officer followed the man as he shakily negotiated the stairs to the second floor. The drunk pushed open the first door they came to. "Thish ish my bedroom," he announced. "Shee the bed there? Thash mine! Shee that woman lying in the bed? Thash my wife. An' see that GUY ! lying next to her?
"Yeah?" the cop replied suspiciously. Beginning at this point to seriously doubt the man's story.
"Well, thash me!"

That's why Giving is important..!!!
There is a legend of a man who was lost in the desert, dying of thirst. He stumbled on until he came to an abandoned house. Outside the dilapidated, windowless, weather–beaten, deserted shack was a pump. He stumbled forward and began pumping furiously, but no water came from the well. Then he noticed a small jug with a cork at the top and a note written on the side: "You have to prime the pump with water, my friend. P.S. And fill the jug again before you leave." He pulled out a cork and saw that the jug was full of water.
Should he pour it down the pump? What if it didn’t work? All of the water would be gone. If he drank the water from the jug, he could be sure he would not die of thirst. But to pour it down the rusty pump on the flimsy instruction written on the outside of the jug?
Something from inside told him to follow the advice and choose the risky decision. He proceeded to pour the whole jug of water down the rusty old pump and furiously pumped up and down. Sure enough, the water gushed out! He had all he needed to drink. He filled the jug again, corked it and added his own words beneath the instructions on the jug: "Believe me, it really works. You have to give it all away before you can get anything back."
