olllld lady
Toward the end of the services, the Minister asked the congregation,
"How
many of you have forgiven your enemies?"
80% held up their hands. The Minister then repeated his question. All
responded this time, except one small elderly lady. "Mrs. Jones? Are
you not
willing to forgive your enemies?"
"I don't have any." She replied, smiling sweetly. "Mrs. Jones, that is
very
unusual. How old are you?"
"Ninety-eight." she replied. "Oh Mrs. Jones, would you please come down
in
front & tell us all how a person can live ninety-eight years & not have
an
enemy in the world?"
The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, faced the
congregation, and said:
"I outlived them ALL."
that story gives me a bitter sweet emotion!
