    A pastor's wife was expecting a baby, so he stood

    Before the congregation and asked for a raise. After much

    discussion, they passed a rule that whenever the pastor'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 pastor's

    expanding salary.



    A great deal of yelling and inner bickering ensued, as to how much

    the pastor's additional children were costing the church, and how

    much more it could potentially cost.



    After listening to them for about an hour, the pastor rose from his

    chair and spoke, "Children are a gift from God, and we will take

    as many gifts as He gives us."



    Silence fell over the congregation. In the back pew, a little

    old lady struggled to stand, and finally said in her frail voice,

    "Rain is also a gift from God, but when we get too much of it, we

    wear rubbers." The entire congregation said, "Amen."



    Gotta love those senior citizens !
