The Baptist preacher just finished his
sermon for the day and
proceeded toward the back of the church for his
usual greetings and
handshaking as the congregation left the church.
After shaking a few adult
hands he came upon the seven year old son
of one of the Deacons of the
church.
"Good morning,
Jonathan," the preacher said as he reached out to
shake Joanthan's hand.
As he was doing do he felt something in the palm of Jonathan's
hand.
"What's this?" the preacher asked.
"Money," said
Jonathan with a big smile on his face, "It's for
you!"
"I
don't want to take your money, Jonathan," the preacher answered.
"I want you to have it," said Jonathan. After a short pause Jonathan
continued, "My daddy says you're the poorest preacher we ever had
and
I want to help you."
