Children are Gifts from God


There was a preacher whose wife was expecting a baby so he went before the Church committee and asked for a raise. After much discussion, they passed a rule that whenever any preacher's family expanded, so would his paycheck.

After 6 children, this started to get expensive and the committee decided to hold another meeting with the church members to discuss the preacher's salary.

There was much yelling and bickering about how much the clergyman's additional children were costing the church.

Finally, the Preacher got up and spoke to the crowd "Children are gifts from God," he said.

Silence fell on the congregation.

In the back pew, a little old lady stood up and in her frail voice said, "Rain is also a gift from God, but when we get too much of it, we wear rubbers."

And the congregation said, "Amen".
