Burning
Biscuits
When I was a little girl,
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: "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 or friendship!
"Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket - keep it in your own."
LIFE ISN’T ABOUT HOW TO SURVIVE THE STORM, BUT HOW YOU DANCE IN THE RAIN !!
