One Sunday a pastor told the congregation that the church needed some extra money and asked the people to prayerfully consider giving a little extra in the offering plate. She said that whoever gave the most would be able to pick out three hymns.

After the offering plates were passed, the pastor glanced down and noticed that someone had placed a $1,000 bill in offering. She was so excited that she immediately shared her joy with her congregation and said she'd like to personally thank the member who placed the bill in the plate.

A quiet, elderly and saintly lady in the back shyly raised her hand. The pastor asked her to come to the front. Slowly she made her way to the pastor. The pastor told her how wonderful it was that she gave so much and in thanksgiving invited her to pick out three hymns.

The old lady’s eyes brightened as she looked over the congregation, pointed to the three handsomest men in the building and said, "I'll take him...







and him...







and him."
