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 and 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."
And the congregation said, "Amen."
