The Pearly Gates

gates3

A cab driver reaches the Pearly Gates.

St. Peter looks him up in his Big Book and tells him to pick up a gold staff and a silk robe and proceed into Heaven.


Next in line is a preacher.

St. Peter looks him up in his Big Book, furrows his brow and says, "OK, we'll let you in, but take that cloth robe and wooden staff."

 
The preacher is shocked and replies, "But I am a man of the cloth. You gave that cab driver a gold staff and a silk robe. Surely I rate higher than a cabbie!"

 
St. Peter responds matter-of-factly, "This is Heaven and up here, we are interested in results. When you preached, people slept. When the cabbie drove his taxi, people prayed."

He does have a good point! Winking smile

    My daughter drives a lot with cabs because of her wheelchair and I can confirm she has already in 20 years prayed the prayers of a lifetime!

    Wise man, St. Peter. Good choice to give him this job.

      I too have prayed every time I get in a cab Han...those drivers can be so aggressive! Sending lots of prayers and positive thoughts for your daughter's safety!
