Burnt biscuits

Question

By anonymous:

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

Mamma 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 others faults - and choosing to celebrate each others

Differences - is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy,

Growing, and lasting relationship.

That's my prayer for you today. That you will learn to take the good,

The bad, and the difficult 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 burned 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. Life is too short to wake up with regrets… Love the people who treat you

Right and forget about the ones who don't.
