Forgive Your Enemies

Comment Up

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

He asked how many of the congregation have forgiven their enemies? About half held up their hands. He then repeated his question. Now about 80 % held up their hands. He then repeated his question once more. All responded, except one elderly lady. "Mrs. Johnson, are you not willing to forgive your enemies?"

"I don't have any."

"Mrs. Johnson that is very unusual. How old are you?"

"Ninety-three," she replied.

"Mrs. Johnson, please come down in front and tell the congregation how a person cannot have an enemy in the world?"

The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle and said,

"I outlived every one of those bitches!"

  2. Lynn, we all know what a good person you are and we all know you are capable of forgiving Pam and wes for all they have done to you. But are they able to accept your forgiveness? Thanks for caring and always being the bigger person in this city. God bless you always! That is what we need in this city, more bigger people, who care, listen, take care of their property and behave ethically and upright. Thanks for your blog and loving and caring ways Lynn.

  5. Posting anonymously to yourself again I see. The joke's not funny and you're not a good person.
    I'm surprised you didn't try to claim you were at the sermon. Like the "story" about your dad and the peacock or the 300,000 people that visit your blog annually.
