The Back Pew
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.'
