The minister and the church board called a special meeting of the congregation to explain some desperate needs of the building that had to be fixed
before winter set in - roof, boiler, etc. "The board approved that we should take a special offering today to get these repairs underway right away.
As they pass the plates to you, I promise that the one who gives the greatest offering will be allowed to pick 3 hymns for next week's service."
The plates were passed and brought to the minister, who discovered a $1,000 bill on top. "Oh my!, how wonderful! Who gave this $1,000 bill?"
A little old lady in the back shyly raised her hand. "Oh Mabel, how generous you are! How blessed we are! Come up and let us thank you!"
When Mabel got to the front with all the applause of the congregation, the minister invited her to select the hymns she wanted.
Mabel slowly turned around to face the congregation, stretched out her arm and said, "I pick him! And him! And him!"
Received from Steve Sanderson.
