So Mother Teresa passed on and went to Heaven...
God told her, "You have been the epitome of everything that is
good, for that, I will give you the most beautiful of halos and a
wonderful set of wings."
Mother Teresa thank God and humbly stepped into Heaven.
There, she was greeted by angels and saints and feted by them. She
was overjoyed as wherever she went, people looked at her with
admiration.
It wasn't long before Princess Diana came to pay a visit.
Mother Teresa looked at her and was disturbed. But the wonderful
lady that she was, she just kept her own counsel and chatted with
Princess Diana.
However, it ate away at her. It just disturbed her.
So one day, she sought an audience with God who immediately
listened to her (hey! He's omnipotent!
).
She asked, "Dear God, you said that I was given the most beautiful
of halos."
God replied patiently, "Yes dear, it is."
Mother Teresa continued, "It is not my place to question you, my
Heavenly Father, but all my life, I tried to do good, to give
succour to the poorest, give them help and hope, all for Your sake.
Whereas all Princess Diana did was to look pretty, marry someone,
live a promiscious life."
God again replied patiently, "Yes dear, for that, you are much
beloved by all."
Mother Teresa finally blurted it out, "So why my Lord, does
Princess Diana have such a huge halo when compared to mine?"
God, in his infinite patience replied, "Dear girl, that is not a
halo, that's a steering wheel."
