One Sunday pastor told his 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 $1,000.00 bill in the 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, him, and
him."
