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
dinner 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
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. I'm not the
best at hardly anything, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries justlike everyone else. But 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 in front
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. And PLEASE pass this along to someone who has enriched your
life.
Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some
kind of battle.
"Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point.”
