Forgive your enemies

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.

Miss Joyce, "Are you not willing to forgive your enemies? " I don't have any, she replied, smiling sweetly.

Miss Joyce that is very unusual. How old are you? '' Ninety-eight" she replied.

"Miss Joyce, 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."
