With many people around the world thinking about Thanksgiving this week, I was reminded of an old joke that always makes me laugh. It would, I guess, work for any time with a little change in the wording. But, without changing anything, it does work well for this week.
Three Hymns
The Sunday before Thanksgiving, a pastor told his congregation that the church needed some extra money.
He asked the people to consider donating a little more than usual into 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 placed a $1,000 bill in the offering.
He was so excited that he immediately shared his joy with his congregation and said he’d like to personally thank the person who placed the money in the plate.
A very quiet, elderly, saintly looking lady, who was all the way in the back 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 in thanks asked her to pick out three hymns.
Her eyes brightened as she looked over the congregation, pointed to the three most handsome men in the building and said, “I’ll take him, and him, and him.”
