One Sunday a pastor asked his congregation to
consider giving a little extra in 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 contri-
buted a $1,000 bill. He was so excited that he
immediately shared his joy with his congregation,
and said he'd like to personally thank the person
who had placed the money in the plate.
A very quiet, elderly, saintly widow 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 asked her to pick out three hymns.
Her eyes brightened as she looked over the congre-
gation, pointed to the three handsomest men in the
building and said, "I'll take him and him and him."
