"An Act of Charity"
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
contributed 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
congregation, pointed to the three handsomest
men in the building and said, "I'll take him and
him and him."
