Wow - it gets late so quick!! Let me say - "Today was a busy day!" My 92 year old Mom needed to go to the beauty shop and as my sister is not feeling well - I called Mom and told her I would take her! She informed me she could drive as well as me and I assured her I knew she could but for today I would pick her up at 10:05 and take her. So I did - then went back to work and returned to pick her up about 10 til 12 and then we got her a Chick-fil-a and took her home. From there I stayed busy - work and other errands, dogs, etc., until just a little while ago! Good day!!
A long time friend sent me this and I love it and identify with it and think you will too!
BURNT 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. Insert - WHAT A MAN! 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 burnt 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 anniversarives 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 is 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!"
God Bless You -- Now and Always!!!! Access your potential and use it for God's glory!!!
