The Preacher’s Wife Was Expecting A Baby. – November 15, 2024 by admin The preacher’s wife was expecting a baby; he went to the congregation and asked for a raise. After much consideration and discussion, they passed a rule that when the preacher’s family expanded, so would his paycheck. After six children, this was getting expensive. The congregation held a meeting to consider the preacher’s pay situation. As you can imagine, there was much yelling and bickering. Finally, the preacher got up and spoke to the crowd: “Having children is an act of God” he proclaimed. In the back of the room, a little old man stood and in a frail voice said “Snow and rain are also acts of God, but when we get too much of it, we wear rubbers”.
