Burnt Biscuits

[Teresa]

I got this and thought it was worth putting on here.

When I was little, my mom liked to make breakfast 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: "Baby, 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 housekeeper or cook. 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, 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 - as understanding is the base
of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship!
