| A
pastor's wife was expecting a baby, so he stood before
the congregation and asked for a raise. After much
discussion, they passed a rule that whenever the
preacher's family expanded, so would his
paycheck. After
6 children, this started to get expensive and the
congregation decided to hold another meeting to
discuss the preacher's expanding salary. A great deal
of yelling and inner bickering ensued, as to how much
the clergyman's additional children were costing the
church, and how much more it could potentially
cost.
After
listening to them for about an hour, the pastor rose
from his chair and spoke, 'Children are a gift from
God, and we will take as many gifts as He gives us.
Silence fell on the
congregation.
In
the back pew, a little old lady struggled to stand,
and finally said in her frail voice, 'Rain is also a
gift from God, but when we get too much of it, we wear
rubbers.'
The
entire congregation said,
'Amen.'[b]
