One Sunday, the pastor told his congregation the church needed a little extra money and asked everyone to give what they could in the offering plate. ![]()
He added, “Whoever gives the most will get to pick out three hymns.”
After the offering was collected, the pastor looked down and saw a $1,000 bill! Excited, he announced it to the church and said he wanted to personally thank the generous giver.

Her eyes lit up as she looked over the congregation. Then she pointed to the three most handsome men in the room and said, “I’ll take him, him, and him!”
