    Gift for a Birthday

    A fellow was very much in love with a beautiful girl. One day she told him that the next day was her birthday. He told her he would send her a bouquet of roses... one for each year of her life.

    That evening he called the local florist and ordered twenty-one roses with instructions that they be delivered first thing the next morning.

    As the florist was preparing the order, he decided that since the young man was such a good customer, he would put an extra dozen roses in the bouquet.

    The fellow never did find out what made the young girl so angry with him.

    "Chains do not hold a marriage together.It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years.That is what makes a marriage last - more than passion or even sex..."

    Hi Jbt!... This is funny... very nice. Sometimes we are not aware of doing things we thought will cheer up the person but instead can offend them....
    I think we have to go to the basic..... learn how to listen to instructions and follow them carefully.

    It might have a very deep meaning and value for him to give that 21 roses to the girl he loves.
    A relationship founded in GOD will last forever and will always compromise trust and happiness, as all good thoughts are derived from wisdom and faith,and trust .

    but since the florist knows how such a good customer the young man she added another buoquet of roses which makes the young girl upset and offended..because the man told her he will give roses for every year of her life..so to think that she receives double boquet,she thinks that the man consider him old age already..so 21 roses plus another extra dozen..oh too much..
