The preacher, in his Sunday sermon, used “Forgive Your Enemies” as his subject. After a long sermon, he asked how many were willing to forgive their enemies.
About half held up their hands. Not satisfied he harangued for another twenty minutes and repeated his question. This time he received a response of about 80 percent.
Still unsatisfied, he lectured for another 15 minutes and repeated his question.
With all thoughts now on Sunday dinner, all responded except one elderly lady in the rear.
“Mrs. Jones, are you not willing to forgive your enemies?”
“I don’t have any.”
“Mrs. Jones, that is very unusual. How old are you?”

--A Father Before He Died Said To His Son--
A father before he died said to his son:
“This is a rugby ball your grandfather gave me, and it’s more than a century old.
But before I give it to you, go to the Sports Shop and tell him I want to sell it, and see how much he offers you.“
He went, and then came back to his father, and said,
“The Sports Shop offered $5 because it’s old.“
He said to him:
“Go to the Second-Hand shop.“
He went and then came back, and said:
“They also offered $5 father.“
“OK now go to the museum and show them that ball.“
He went then came back, and said to his father
“They offered me $500,000 for this old leather ball.“
The father said:
“I wanted to let you know that the right place values you in the right way.”
“Don’t find yourself in the wrong place and get angry if you’re not valued.
Those that know your value are those who appreciate you, don’t stay in a place where nobody sees your value.“
