One Sunday, the pastor told his congregation that the church was in need of extra funds and encouraged everyone to consider giving a little more during the offering. As an added incentive, he promised that whoever donated the most would get to choose three hymns.
When the collection plates came back, the pastor was stunned to find a $1,000 bill among the offerings. Thrilled, he immediately thanked the generous donor in front of the congregation and asked them to come forward.
From the back, a quiet, elderly, devout woman slowly raised her hand. The pastor invited her up, praising her generosity and telling her she could now choose her three hymns.
Her face lit up as she looked across the congregation. Then, pointing to three of the most handsome men in the room, she cheerfully said, “I’ll take him, him, and him!”
