Husband: The pastor wants us to give the announcements on Sunday. You give 'em and I'll say a prayer for the offerings.
Wife: OK, write down the prayer and I'll translate it into Spanish and you can practice.
Husband: OK. [writes]
Dear Lord, please bless these tithes and offerings. Let them be used to do Your work in a world that needs to hear Your word. Remind us that these offerings are only returning to You a portion of Your blessings to us. In Jesus' name, Amen.
[slides it to wife]
Wife: [looks at it ... writes]
Padre Santo, te agradecemos por un día más de vida. Gracias por permitirnos estar reunidos para alabarte y escuchar tú palabra. bendice estas ofrendas y multiplicalas para tu servicio en el nombre de tú hijo Jesus. Amen!
[slides it back to husband]
Husband: [reads] ... This is not what I said.
Wife: I know. It's better.
