GENEROUS GIVER….
July 19th, 2005
Every Sunday, a little old lady placed $1,000 in the collection
plate.
It went on for weeks until the priest, overcome with curiosity,
approached her.
“My dear, I couldn’t help but notice that you put $1,000 a week
in the collection plate,” he stated.
“Why yes,” she replied, “every week my son sends me money, and
what I don’t need, I give to the church.”
“That’s wonderful, but how much does he send you?” the priest asked.
“He sends me $2,000 every week,” she replied proudly.
“Your son must be very successful,” said the priest. “May I ask what
does he do for a living?
“He is a veterinarian,” she answered.
“That is a very honorable profession,” the priest assured her.
“Where does he practice?”
“Well,” she replied, “he has one cat house in Kansas City and
another in New Orleans.”
