Good Old Granny
Toward the end of the church service, the minister asked, “How many of you have forgiven your enemies?”
About 80% held up their hands.
The minister then repeated the question and all responded by raising their hands except one small, elderly lady.
“Mrs. Jones? Are you not willing to forgive your enemies?”, the
minister asked.
“I don’t have any”, she replied, smiling sweetly.
“Mrs. Jones, that is indeed unusual. How old are you?”
“Ninety-eight” she replied.
“Mrs. Jones, would you come down front and tell the congregation how a person can live for ninety-eight years and not have an enemy in the world?” The little lady tottered down the aisle, faced the congregation, smiled sweetly and said,
“I outlived the bitches.”
“There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
— Albert Einstein
