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 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 long hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides... a burnt biscuit never hurt
anyone!"
You know, life is
full of imperfect things... and imperfect people. I'm not the best at hardly anything, and I forget
birthdays and anniversaries just like
everyone else. 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.
So... please pass
me a biscuit. And yes, the burned one will do just fine !!
Life is too short
to wake up with regrets... Love the people who treat you right and forget about the ones who don't.
ENJOY LIFE NOW -
IT HAS AN EXPIRY DATE!
