BONES Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 There was a preacher whose wife was expecting a baby so he went tothe congregation and asked for a raise. After much consideration anddiscussion, they passed a rule that whenever the preacher's familyexpanded, so would his paycheck.After 6 children this started to get expensive, and theCongregation decided to hold another meeting to discuss the preacher'ssalary. There was much talk about how much the clergyman's additionalchildren were costing the church.Finally, the Preacher got up and spoke to the crowd, "Children area gift from God," he said. Silence fell on the congregation.In the back of the room, a little old lady stood up and in herfrail voice said, "Rain is also a gift from God, but when we get toomuch, we wear rubbers".And the congregation said, "Amen" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
