Little Old Ladies

There was a preacher whose wife was expecting a baby. The preacher went to
the congregation and asked for a raise. After much consideration and
discussion, they passed a rule that whenever the preacher's family
expanded, so would his paycheck.

After several years and six 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. "Having children is
an act of God!" Silence fell upon the congregation.

In the back of the room a little old lady stood up and in her frail voice
said: "Snow and rain are also acts of God, but when we get too much, we
wear rubbers!"

Don't you just love little old ladies?
