Forgiveness
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 thoughts of Sunday dinner, all responded except one old gentleman in
the rear.
Mr. Jones, are you not willing to
forgive your enemies?"
"I don't have any."
"Mr. Jones, that is very unusual. How old are you?"
"Eighty-six."
"Mr. Jones, please come down in
front and tell the congregation how
a man can live to be 86 and not have an
enemy in the world."
The old man teetered down the
aisle and slowly turned around.
"It's easy. I outlived 'em!"
