A Woman Who Wanted to See Heaven

A certain minister preached one day on Heaven. The next morning he was met by one of his wealthy members, who said: “Pastor, you preached a good sermon about Heaven. You told me all about Heaven, but you did not tell me where Heaven is.” “Ah,” said the pastor, “I’m glad of the opportunity this morning. I have just come from the hill yonder. In that cottage there is a member of your church who is extremely poor; she is sick and in bed with fever. If you will go and take her a good supply of provisions and say, ‘My sister. I have brought these nice provisions in the Name of our Lord and Savior,’ if you ask for a Bible and read Psalm 23, and then get down on your knees and pray, if you don’t see Heaven, before you get all through, I’ll pay the bill.” The next morning he said: “Pastor, I saw Heaven, and I spent fifteen minutes in Heaven, as certainly as you are listening.” (Gospel Herald).
