Three Hymns
A pastor explained to his congregation
that the church was in need of some extra money, so he asked them to consider
being more than generous. He offered that whoever gave the most would be
able to pick three hymns. After the offering plates were passed about the
church, the pastor glanced down and noticed that someone had graciously
offered a $1,000 bill. 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
in the back of the church shyly raised her hand. The pastor asked her to
come to the front, so she slowly she made her way towards him. The pastor
told her how wonderful it was that she gave so much, and in thanks he asked
her to pick out three hymns. Her eyes brightened as she looked over the
congregation. She pointed to the three most handsome men in the church
and said, "I'll take him and him and him."
