Here is what I copied

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!
