BURNT BISCUITS.... .........
When I was a kid, 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 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 let life flow. Know that we are all doing our very best on any given day - 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."
