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 burnt
biscuits in front of my Dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet, all my Dad did was reached for his biscuit, smiled at my Mom and asked me how my day was at school.
I don't remember what I told him that night; but I do remember hearing my Mom apologizing to my Dad for burning the biscuits. And I'll never forget what he said: "Honey, I love burnt biscuits."
Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burnt. 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. 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 burnt one will do just fine!

And please pass this along to someone who has enriched your life - I just did!
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 EXPIRATION DATE!!
It is nice to be important, but it is more important to be nice!
Blessed is the man who always fears the Lord,
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 EXPIRATION DATE!!
It is nice to be important, but it is more important to be nice!
Blessed is the man who always fears the Lord,
but he who hardens his heart falls into trouble.
