A SUCCESSFUL SON

ONE SUNDAY, WHILE COUNTING

THE MONEY IN THE WEEKLY OFFERING,

THE PASTOR OF A SMALL

FLORIDA CHURCH FOUND A PINK

ENVELOPE CONTAINING $1,000.

IT HAPPENED AGAIN THE NEXT WEEK.

THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY,

HE WATCHED AS THE OFFERING

WAS COLLECTED AND SAW A

LITTLE OLD LADY PUT THE

DISTINCTIVE PINK ENVELOPE

IN THE PLATE. 

THIS WENT ON FOR WEEKS

UNTIL THE PASTOR,

OVERCOME BY CURIOSITY,

APPROACHED HER.

"MA'AM, 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 I GIVE SOME OF IT TO THE CHURCH." 

THE PASTOR REPLIED,

"THAT'S WONDERFUL,

HOW MUCH DOES HE SEND YOU?" 

"$10,000 A WEEK." 

THE PASTOR WAS AMAZED.

"YOUR SON MUST BE VERY SUCCESSFUL.

WHAT DOES HE DO FOR A LIVING?" 

"HE'S A VETERINARIAN,"

SHE ANSWERED. 

"THAT'S AN HONORABLE PROFESSION,"

THE PASTOR SAID.

"WHERE DOES HE PRACTICE?" 

THE OLD LADY SAID PROUDLY,

"IN NEVADA.

HE HAS TWO CAT HOUSES IN

LAS VEGAS AND ONE IN RENO."
