When I was a kid, my mom would prepare special breakfast every now and then.
And I remember one night in particular, 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! Yet 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 biscuit 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 biscuits.
And I'll never forget what he said: "Honey, I love burned biscuits."
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 Momma put in a hard day at work today
and she's real tired. And besides - a little burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!"
You know, 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.
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, THEE is 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."
GOD BLESS YOU..... Now, and always....
So Please pass me a biscuit, and yes, the burnt one will do just fine.!.!.!
