When I was a kid, my Mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now
and
then. 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 biscuits in front of my dad. I remember
waiting to see if anyone noticed!
All my dad did was reach for his biscuit, 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 ugly burned biscuit. He ate every bite of that thing...never
made a face nor uttered a word about it!
When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my Mom
apologize to my dad for burning the
biscuits. And I'll never forget what he said, "Honey, I love burned
biscuits
every now and then."
Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he
really liked his biscuits burned. He wrapped me in his
arms and said, "Your Mom put in a hard day at work today and she's real
tired.
And besides--a little burned biscuit never hurt anyone!"
As I've grown older, I've thought about that many times. Life is full of
imperfect things and imperfect people.
I'm not the best at hardly anything, and I forget birthdays and
anniversaries just like everyone else. But 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 a
burnt
biscuit isn't a deal-breaker!
We could extend this to any relationship. In fact, 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--keep it in
your own."
So, please pass me a biscuit, and yes, the burned one will do just fine.
And PLEASE pass this along to someone who has enriched your life--I just
did!
Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of
battle.
"Life without God is like an un-sharpened pencil--it has no point"
