The Pastor needs another raise

A pastor's wife was expecting a baby, so he stood 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 expanding salary. A great deal of
yelling and inner bickering ensued, as to how much the clergyman's
additional children were costing the church, and how much more it could
potentially cost. After listening to them for about an hour, the pastor rose
from his chair and spoke, Children are a gift from God, and we will take as
many gifts as He gives us. Silence fell on the congregation. In the back
pew, a little old lady struggled to stand, and finally said in her frail
voice, Rain is also a gift from God, but when we get too much of it, we
wear rubbers. The entire congregation said, Amen!
