Thou Shalt Forgive
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...On a sunny sunday morning, a priest was giving his congregation a sermon about how everyone should forgive their enemies. He said, “if you forgive your enemies, please stand up.” About that time, a third of the congregation stood up. So, the preacher carried on about how Jesus had asked God to forgive the jews at the crucifix, then repeated his request. That time a good three fourths of the congregation stood up. Bound and determined, the priest continued with the ten commandments and such and repeated, “if you can forgive your enemies, please rise.” That time, the entire congregation had risen exept for one elderly man in the back. The priest said, “you there in the back, why don’t you forgive your enemies?” He said, “i don’t have any.” Stunned, the priest said, “how old are you?” The old man replied, “i’m 87.” The priest was mesmorized and asked, “how can a man of 87 years not have any enemies?” The old man replied, “that’s because i outlived those sons of bitches!”
