Giving Extra in the Offering

I saw this is the Stroller today, thought you might enjoy.During his Sunday service, the pastor told the congregation that the church needed extra money, and he prayerfully asked them to consider putting a little extra in the plate. He said the member giving the most would get to pick three hymns.

After the offering plates had been passed around, the pastor glanced down and noticed that someone had given a check for $1000. He immediately shared his joy with the congregation and asked the donor to raise a hand so he could personally thank the person.
A saintly, elderly lady all the way in the back slowly raised her hand, and the pastor asked her to come down to the front. He asked her how wonderful it was that she gave so much and invited her to pick out three hymns.

Her eyes brightened as she looked over the congregation, pointed to the three most handsome men in the church and said, "I'll take him, him, and him."

This is the best one yet (for me atleast!)
