Burnt Biscuit



This story is relay to all the children that we have....

Nice story Burnt biscuit

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. That evening, mom placed a plate of eggs,
sausage and extremely burned biscuits in front of dad. I remember
waiting to see if anyone noticed.

All dad did was reach for his biscuit, smiled at mom and asked 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
ate every bite.

When I got up from the table, I remember hearing mom apologize to 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 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!"

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
others' faults - and choosing to celebrate each others differences -
is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and
lasting relationship.

Because in the end, you are the master of your own life, to be happy
or unhappy, to be positive or negative.

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.
