One Sunday morning, the pastor announced that the church was trying to raise some extra funds and asked everyone to give whatever they felt led to give.
He added, “And whoever gives the largest offering today will get to choose three hymns.”
When the ushers brought the plate back, the pastor spotted a $1,000 bill. His jaw nearly hit the floor. Delighted, he told the congregation he wanted to personally thank the generous donor.
A sweet elderly lady in the last row slowly lifted her hand. Smiling, the pastor invited her to come forward and praised her kindness.
“Now,” he said, “as promised — you get to select any three hymns you want.”
Her eyes sparkled as she looked around the church.
She pointed at three of the best-looking men in the room and cheerfully said:
“I’ll take him, him, and him!”
