I was told this story relating to enemies
The title caught my attention
I felt I had to mention
A man being 98 Years Old
The age alone was a behold
But it doesn’t surround the story told
Now follow me as you catch your breath
Take in my words for all that it is worth
A Minister preached his sermon about forgiveness
There was one being a true witness
After the Minister preached, he asked the congregation if they had any enemies
No one really answered but one
Yes you probably guessed it, the old man
It was the 98 Year Old Man being among
The Old Man stated he had no enemies
The Minister and the congregation were in a daze
The answer from the Old Man had the congregation in a automatic amaze
However, that wasn’t the end to all that
What you are about to witness became a known fact
The Old Man then repeated, “He had no enemies”
So the Minister asked the question directly to the Old Man
Why do you say you have no enemies?
Everyone has at least one or two or perhaps more
The Old man responded, “They died and I out lived them all”
After that, the Minister and the entire congregation gave the Old Man a standing ovation.
