Here’s a funny story for a sermon introduction when you are preaching to your men about remembering special days for the wife and family.

Bob forgot his wedding anniversary and his wife was really upset. She told him, “Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds, and, buster, IT BETTER BE THERE!!”

The next morning, Bob got up early and left for work. When his wife woke up, she looked out the window and saw a box gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway. Confused, she put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, and brought the box back in the house. She opened the box and was totally shocked when she found a brand new BATHROOM SCALE which can definitely go from 0 to 200 in seconds!!!. 

Please pray for Bob......he has been missing since Friday!

There are special days we all should remember lest we get in trouble at home like anniversaries, birthdays and major holidays. The Jews were especially good about remembering "holy days" as they recall the goodness of God in watching over Israel for generations.
