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.”
