Family and Friends, read, enjoy and then pass the 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 burned biscuit never hurt anyone!" > > > Life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people.

But 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." > > So Please pass me a biscuit, and yes, the burned one will do just fine.
