The back pew
There was a preacher whose wife was expecting a baby so he
went before the congregation and asked for a raise. After
much discussion, they passed a rule that whenever the
preacher's family expanded, so would his paycheck.
After 6 children, this started to get expensive and the
congregation decided to hold another meeting 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 a gift 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"
