Our pastor preached Sunday about husband’s loving their wife’s and he mentioned that we husbands should be spontaneous sometime and buy our wife’s flowers or take them out to eat for no special reason except for the fact that we love them. I decided to try that.

It had bothered me all day that I hadn’t gotten my wife any flowers in a long time. I guess the pastor’s sermon really sunk in and it had eaten away at my conscious. On my way home from work I stopped by the flower shop and got her a beautiful bouquet of flowers all mixed up with different kinds of flowers. It was a beautiful arrangement.

I wanted to surprise her when I got home so I hid the flowers behind my back and rung the doorbell. When she opened the door I stood there smiling at her and I pulled the flowers out from behind my back and held them up and said, “Here honey! These are for you!” Suddenly she broke down and started crying. I was surprised and concerned at her reaction so I asked her as I reached out to hug her. “Honey, what’s wrong?”

She said, “It’s been terrible. I’ve just had a terrible day today!”

“Why what happened?” I asked.

“Well, it started this morning when the washing machine tore up, Then about midday the dog got sick and threw up all over the carpet, then the vacuum cleaner messed up and wouldn’t work and now here you come home drunk.”
