This is Day 1462 of our Trek, and time for a 3-minute mini-trek called Humor Unplugged.\xa0Our Thursday podcast will provide a short and clean funny story to help you lighten up and live a rich and satisfying life.\xa0Something to cheer you and give a bit a levity in your life.\xa0We are told in\xa0 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs+17:22&version=NLT)\xa0A\xa0cheerful\xa0heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person\u2019s strength.\xa0Consider this your vitamin supplement of cheer for today.\xa0So let\u2019s jump right in with today\u2019s funny which is titled:
Forgive Your EnemiesIn his Sunday sermon, Pastor Sam prepared a fiery sermon, \u201cForgive Your Enemies,\u201d as his subject.\xa0As he was finishing up his sermon, he pleaded with the congregation and asked, \u201chow many are you willing to forgive your enemies?\u201d To Pastor Sam\u2019s amazement, only about half of the congregation held up their hands.
Not satisfied with the response, Pastor Sam went back into his sermon and harangued the congregation for another twenty minutes and repeated his question, \u201chow many are you willing to forgive your enemies?.\u201d The response was better, but still, only eighty percent of the hands were raised.\xa0The lack of response lit a fire in Pastor Sam\u2019s belly, and he started back in for fifteen more minutes and repeated his question, \u201chow many are you willing to forgive your enemies?.\u201d Thinking that they may be there all day, everyone raised their hand except for old Mr. Jones in the back pew.
\u201cMr. Jones, are you not willing to forgive your enemies?\u201d
\u201cI don\u2019t have any enemies, Pastor.\u201d
In a bit of a pompous tone, Pastor Same asked, \u201cMr. Jones, that is very unusual. How old are you?\u201d
\u201cOne hundred and one.\u201d\xa0Mr. Jones replied.
Still not being convinced, Pastor Sam said, \u201cMr. Jones, please come down in front and tell the congregation how a man can live to be one hundred and one and not have an enemy in the world.\u201d
The old man teetered down the aisle, slowly turned to face the congregation, smiled, and said, \u201cI outlived every one of them!\u201dI hope that brought a smile to your face today.\xa0If it did pass your smile onto some else, we all could use a kind smile each day.\xa0Our Thursday thought is, \u201c (https://www.azquotes.com/quote/105824?ref=forgive-your-enemies)\u201d



Here is our verse for today:
(https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians%203%3A13&version=NLT)
Make allowance for each other\u2019s faults, and\xa0forgive\xa0anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must\xa0forgive\xa0others.
