A pastor 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 about 80 per cent. Still unsatisfied, he lectured for another 15 minutes and repeated his question. With all thoughts now on their Sunday dinner, all responded except one elderly lady in the rear.
Quizzically, the pastor looked at her and asked, "Mrs. Thomas, are you not willing to forgive your enemies?" And she responded sweetly, "I don't have any." Amazed, the pastor said, "Mrs. Thomas, that is very unusual. How old are you?" And she replied, "Ninety three." The pastor then said, "Mrs. Jones, please come down in front and tell the congregation how a person can live to be ninety-three, and not have an enemy in the world." The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, very slowly turned around and said, "It's easy, I just outlived the bitches."
