Subject: Fwd: FW: Burnt Toast....ALL MUST READ..AS YRSELF, WHERE U STAND?
A beautiful story to ponder upon... if everyone in this world learns to accept
others' mistakes and forgive each other... life will move smoothly.
This is a nice story......
Embracing Imperfection
A story by a girl.
"When I was a little girl, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every
now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made
breakfast after a long, hard day at work.
On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and
extremely burned toast in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone
noticed!
Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my mom, and ask me how my
day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do
remember Watching him smear butter and jelly on that toast and eat every bite!
When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize
to my dad For burning the toast. AndI'll never forget what he said: 'Baby, I
love burned toast.'
Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if He really
liked his toast burned.. He wrapped me in his arms and said, 'Debbie, your
Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides-a
little burnt toast never hurt anyone!' You know, life is full of imperfect
things.....and imperfect people. I'm not the best housekeeper or cook.'
What I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each other's faults
- and choosing to celebrate each
other's differences - is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy,
growing, and lasting relationship.
And that's my prayer for you today. That you will learn to take the good, the
bad, and the ugly parts of your life
and lay them at the feet of GOD. Because in the end, He's the only One who will
be able to give you a relationship where burnt toast isn't a deal-breaker!
We could extend this to any relationship in fact - as
understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or
parent-child or friendship!! "
"Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket but into your
own."
Have a great day, week, month, year, life...!!
