HYMNS?
The Sunday before Christmas, a pastor told his congregation that the church
needed some extra money. He asked the people to consider donating a little
more than usual into 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 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 looking 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 thanks asked her to pick out three hymns.
Her eyes brightened as she looked over the congregation, pointed to the
three most handsome men in the building and said, "I'll take him and him and
him."
