One Sunday morning, the pastor stood before his congregation with a special announcement.
“Brothers and sisters, our church needs to raise some extra money, so please give whatever you can.”
Then he smiled and added,
“And whoever gives the largest offering today will get to choose three hymns!”
As the collection plates were passed around, everyone made their donations.
But when the ushers returned, the pastor spotted a $1,000 bill among the offerings!
He could hardly believe his eyes.
“Good heavens! Someone has donated a thousand dollars! I’d love to personally thank this generous soul!”
From the back row, a sweet little old lady slowly raised her hand.
The pastor beamed and invited her to the front.
“Bless you, my dear! Your generosity is truly wonderful!”
Then he continued,
“Now, as promised, you may choose any three hymns you like!”
The elderly lady smiled excitedly, looked around the congregation, and spotted three particularly handsome men.
She pointed at each of them and cheerfully said:
“I’ll take him, him, and him!”
