The Sunday before Christmas, a pastor told his congregation that
the church needed some extra money. He asked the people to consider
donating a little more than usual into the offering plate. He said
that whoever gave the most would be able to pick out three hymns.
After the offering plates were passed, the pastor glanced down and
noticed that someone had placed a $1,000 bill in offering.
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
looking lady all the way in the back shyly raised her hand. The
pastor asked her to come to the front.
Slowly she made her way to the pastor. He told her how wonderful it
was that she gave so much and in thanks asked her to pick out three
hymns.
Her eyes brightened as she looked over the congregation, pointed to
the three most handsome men in the building and said, "I'll take
him and him and him."
