"NOW THIS IS SWEET!!"

All women should live so long as to be this kind of old lady!

Toward the end of Sunday service, the Minister asked, "How many of you have forgiven your enemies?" 80% held up their hands.

The Minister then repeated his question. All responded this time, except one small elderly lady.

"Mrs. Neely, are you not willing to forgive your enemies?"

"I don't have any." She replied, smiling sweetly.

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

"Ninety-eight." she replied.

"Oh, Mrs. Neely, would you please come down in front 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."


From my daughter in an email.

  6. Mimi, she and my father (turning 90 later this year, she married a younger man - by three months) wrote that they both had a good chuckle. (I was a little afraid they'd find it offensive, but they didn't.)

  7. Hi, Allie.

    Jane, how delightful. I'm so pleased that your folks enjoyed it. I married a younger man, too. Younger by three years!
