Weekend Joke

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 a lot of yelling and bickering about how much the clergyman's additional children was costing the church.

Finally, the preacher got up, spoke to the crowd, and said... "Children are a gift from God." Silence fell on the congregation. In the back pew, a little old lady stood up and in her frail voice and said, "Rain is also a gift from God but, when we get too much of it, we wear rubbers!"
