Burned Biscuits

*BURNED BISCUITS*

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 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 just like everyone else.
But what I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each others
faults - and choosing to celebrate each others 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, 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.

Ehm WOW....!!
Hidup memang penuh dengan ketidaksempurnaan... Sore ini g sempat melihat kaca spion sambil nyetir dan berpikir ini akan jadi sore yang sempurna. G uda pengen nepi di jembatan utk nikmati sore sampe gelap tapi titik-titik air itu turun dan akhirnya g terusin perjalanan pulang balik ke rumah petak g.

But anyway ditemani teh hijau sejak sore tadi g duduk di depan pintu dan tetap merasa bersyukur untuk sore yang sempurna, cukup sempurna buat g setidaknya. ^^

*Thanks Ci Lucia utk emailnya.
