One Easter a priest and a taxi driver both died and went to heaven. St. Peter was at
the Pearly gates waiting for them.
'Come with me,' said St. Peter to the taxi driver.
The taxi driver did as he was told and followed St Peter to a mansion. It
had everything you could imagine from a bowling alley to an Olympic size
pool.
'Oh my word, thank you,' said the taxi driver.
Next, St. Peter led the priest to a rough old shack with a bunk bed and a
little old television set.
'Wait, I think you are a little mixed up,' said the priest. 'Shouldn't I
be the one who gets the mansion? After all I was a priest, went to church
every day, and preached God's word.'
'Yes, that's true.' St Peter rejoined, 'But during your Easter sermons people
slept. When the taxi driver drove, everyone prayed.'

Young Ernie and his family were invited to have Easter Sunday lunch at his
grandmother's house in Monkey's Eyebrow, Arizona. USA. Everyone was seated
around the table as the food was being served.
When Ernie received his plate he started eating straight away.
'Ernie, wait until we say grace,' demanded his father.
'I don't have to,' the five year old replied.
'Of course you do, Ernest,' his mother insisted rather forcefully. 'We always
say a prayer before eating at our house.'
'That's at our house,' Ernie explained, 'but this is Grandma's house, and she
knows how to cook.'
The neighbor of a four-year-old child was an elderly gentleman, who had
recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went
into the old Gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little
boy just said, 'Nothing, I just Helped him cry.'
Footnote: Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia judged
the above to be the most most caring act by a child.
