Joke of the day – Pick three hymns
One Sunday a pastor asked his congregation to consider giving a little extra in the offering plate. He 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 contributed a $1,000 bill. He was so excited that he immediately shared his joy with his congregation, and said he’d like to personally thank the person who had placed the money in the plate.
A very quiet, elderly, saintly widow shyly raised her hand. The pastor asked her to come to the front. Slowly she made her way to the pastor. He told her how wonderful it was that she gave so much and asked her to pick out three hymns.
Her eyes brightened as she looked over the congregation, pointed to the three most handsome men in the building and said, “I’ll take him, him, and him.”

Be kind to yourself
Be gentle with your thoughts and feelings,
for the more we can love ourselves and
the more honest we can be with our own emotions,
the freer we are to love and give joy to others!
Joke of the day – $1 & $20
An old dollar bill and an even older $20 arrive at the bank to be retired.
“I’ve had a pretty good life,” says the $20, “I’ve been to fine restaurants, hip clubs and even a Caribbean cruise. You?”
“Oh,” says the dollar bill, “I’ve been to the Methodist church, the Baptist church, spent some time with the Lutherans.”
“Wait,” the $20 interrupts, “What’s a church?”
