Something That Made Me A Lesson by Deywan(m): 8:08am On Jul 30, 2015 |
When I was a kid, my Mom liked to make
breakfast food for dinner every now and
then. 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!
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 ugly burned biscuit. He ate every
bite of that thing…never made a face nor
uttered a word about it! 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 every
now and then.” 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, PART 1 |

“Your Mom put in a hard day at work today and she’s real tired. And besides–a little burned biscuit never hurt anyone!” As I’ve grown older, I’ve thought about that many times. 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 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, understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship! PART 2 1 Like |

“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–I just did! Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle. “Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil–it has no point” #all thanks to God And karen |
