Love Letter
My Dear Wife,
You are so easy to forgive. I realised that little irritations, small offenses, emotional wounds and hurt feelings build up over time. Sometime they are temporarily overlooked, buried, or nearly forgotten, but not quite other times. I've been responsible for my share of hurts and pains, and for that I'm truely sorry. Please forgive me. I also want to make sure that I've forgiven you. I don't want to carry around an old offense that breeds bitterness and eventually pushes us apart.
I understand now that a vital part of any loving and lasting relationship must be forgiveness. We cannot survive without it. It's impossible to love someone without inflicting hurt from time to time. We're human, and we're imperfect at this thing called love. So let's choose to forgive.
Because I Love You,
Your Husband.

Conquering Fear
I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do, provided he keeps doing them until he gets a record of successful experiences behind him.

Why Condoms come in Boxes of 3, 6 and 12? - R(A)
A man walks into a drug store with his 8-year old son. They happen to walk by the condom display, and the boy asks, "What are these, Dad? To which the man matter-of-factly replies, "Those are condoms, son. Men use them to have safe sex."
"Oh I see," replied the boy pensively, "Yes, I've heard of that in health class at school."
He looks over the display and picks up a package of 3 and asks, "Why are there 3 in this package?"
The dad replies, "Those are for high school boys, ONE for Friday, ONE for Saturday, and ONE for Sunday."
"Cool" says the boy. He notices a 6 pack and asks: "Then who are these for?"
"Those are for college men," the dad answers, "TWO for Friday, TWO for Saturday, and TWO for Sunday."
"WOW!" exclaimed the boy, "Then who uses THESE?" he asks, picking up a 12 pack!
With a sigh and a tear in his eye, the dad replied:
"Those are for the married men. ONE for January, ONE for February, ONE for March...etc."
Fathers always have all the answers prepared and ready.

20 Lashes
Ah Beng (a Singaporean), a German cook and a Bank Manager got arrested consuming alcohol which is a severe offense in Saudi Arabia , so for the terrible crime they are all sentenced 20 lashes each of the whip.
As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheik announced: "It's my first wife's birthday today, and she has asked me to allow each of you one wish before your whipping."
The German cook was first in line, he thought for a while and then said: "Please tie a pillow to my back." This was done, but the pillow only lasted 10 lashes & the German cook had to be carried away bleeding and crying with pain.
The Bank Manager was next up. After watching the German cook in horror he said smugly: "Please fix two pillows to my back." But even two pillows could only take 15 lashes & the Bank Manager was also led away whimpering loudly.
Ah Beng was the last one up, but before he could say anything, the Sheikh turned to him and said: "You are from a most beautiful part of the world and your government is one of the finest in the world. For this, you may have two wishes!" "Thank you, your Most Royal and Merciful highness," Ah Beng replied. "In recognition of your kindness, my first wish is that you give me not 20, but 100 lashes." "Not only are you an honorable, handsome and powerful man, you are also very brave." The Sheik said with an admiring look on his face. "If 100 lashes is what you desire, then so be it. "And what is your second wish, ?" the Sheik asked.
Ah Beng smiled and said, "Tie the Bank Manager to my back" !!!
