The Preacher’s Wife Was Expecting A Baby.

The preacher’s wife was expecting a baby;

he went to the congregation and asked for a raise.

After much consideration and discussion, they passed a rule that when the preacher’s family expanded, so would his paycheck.

After six children, this was getting expensive.

The congregation held a meeting to consider the preacher’s pay situation.

As you can imagine, there was much yelling and bickering.

Finally, the preacher got up and spoke to the crowd:

“Having children is an act of God” he proclaimed.

In the back of the room, a little old man stood and in a frail voice said

“Snow and rain are also acts of God, but when we get too much of it, we wear rubbers”.
