Forgive Your Enemies

The preacher's, Sunday sermon was "Forgive Your Enemies".

Toward theend of the service, he asked his congregation, "How many of you haveforgiven their enemies?"

About half held up their hands. He then repeated his question.

As itwas past lunchtime, this time about 80 percent held up their hands.

He then repeated his question again. All responded, except one smallelderly lady."Mrs. Jones," inquired the preacher,

"Are you not willing to forgiveyour enemies?""I don't have any." She replied, smiling sweetly."Mrs. Jones, That is very unusual.

How old are you?""Ninety-three." She replied.

Oh Mrs. Jones, what a blessing and a lesson to us all you are. Would you please come down in front of this congregation and tell us all how a person can live ninety-three years and not have an enemy in theworld.

"The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, faced thecongregation, and said: "It was easy, I outlived those witches."
