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".
