OT. the sweetness of old age ...



Following my other attempt and encouragement from
A CERTAIN PERSON ....


-------------------------------------------
Sunday's sermon was "Forgive Your Enemies."

Toward the end of the service, the Minister asked , "How many of you have
forgiven your enemies?" 80 percent 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 of and tell us all how
a person can live ninety-eight years and not have an enemy in the world?"

The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, faced the
congregation, and said, "I outlived the bitches."
