The Palm Sunday Donation... - One Palm Sunday, a Catholic Priest, while addressing his congregation, explained that the church was having a hard time meeting its obligations financially and needed some extra money.
So he asked his flock to prayerfully consider giving a little extra in the offering plate that Sunday. He said that whoever gave the most would be able to pick out three hymns.
After the offering plates were passed around and collected, the pastor glanced down and noticed that someone had placed a crisp $1,000 bill in the collection plate.
He was so excited that he immediately expressed his joy to the congregation and said he'd like to personally thank the person who had been so generous to the church.
Suddenly, a very quiet, elderly and saintly lady all the way in the back pew shyly raised her hand.
The pastor asked her to please up come to the front. So, with the help of a cane, the old woman very slowly walked up to the alter where the pastor was standing.
He joyfully sang her praises and told her how wonderful it was that she had donated so much money. Then, as a measure of his gratitude, the priest asked her to pick out whichever three hymns she desired.
Her eyes quickly brightened up as she gazed over the congregation. She then pointed to the three most handsome men sitting in the pews and said, "I'll take him, him, and him." -
ButtonGuys wishes those who celebrate a Happy Palm Sunday!
