The Pastor's Raise
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."
