The preacher, in his Sunday sermon, used
"Forgive Your Enemies"
as his subject. After a long sermon, he asked how many were willing to
forgive their enemies. About half held up their hands. Not satisfied he
harangued for another twenty minutes and repeated his
question.
This time he received a response of eighty
percent. Still unsatisfied,
he lectured for fifteen minutes and repeated his question. With all
thoughts now on Sunday dinner, all responded except one elderly lady
in the rear.
"Ms. Jones, are you not willing to forgive
your enemies?'
"I don't have any."
"Ms. Jones, that is very unusual. How old
are you?
"Ninety-three."
"Ms. Jones, please come down in front and
tell the congregation
how a person can live to ninety-three and not have an enemy in the
world."
The little sweetheart of a lady teetered
down the aisle, very slowly
turned around & said: "It's easy. I just outlived the danged
idiots."
