Burned Biscuits

Author Unknown.
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

others faults - and choosing to celebrate each others 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."
God Bless You...... Now, and Always.... So Please pass me a biscuit,
and yes, the burnt one will do just fine!
And PLEASE pass this along to someone who has enriched your life...
I just did!
