One Sunday a pastor told the
congregation that the church needed some extra money and asked the people to
prayerfully consider giving a little extra in the offering plate.
He said that whoever gave the most
would be able to pick out three hymns.
After the offering plates were passed,
the pastor glanced down and noticed that someone had placed a $1,000 bill in
offering.
He was so excited that he immediately
shared his joy with his congregation and said he'd like to personally thank the
person who placed the money in the plate.
A very quiet, elderly, saintly lady
all the way in the back shyly raised her hand.
The pastor asked her to come to the
front
Slowly she made her way to the
pastor.
He told her how wonderful it was that
she gave so much and in thanksgiving asked her to pick out three hymns.
Her eyes brightened as she
looked over the congregation, pointed to the three handsomest men in the
building and said, "I'll take him and him and him."
