SHARED FROM A FRIEND IT
WAS TOO MEANINGFUL NOT TO PASS ALONG:
When I was a kid, my mom liked to make
breakfast food for dinner every now & 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, & 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 & ask me how my
day was at school. I don't remember what I told
him that night, but I do remember hearing my
mom apologize to my dad for burning the
biscuits. I'll never forget what he said: "Honey, I
love burned biscuits." Later that night, I went to
kiss Daddy good night & I asked him if he really
liked his biscuits burned. He wrapped me in his
arms & said, "Your momma put in a long hard
day at work today & she's real tired. Besides, a
burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!" You know, life is
full of imperfect things, & imperfect people. I'm
not the best at hardly anything, & I forget
birthdays & anniversaries just like everyone else.
What I've learned over the years is that learning to
accept each others faults & choosing to celebrate
each others differences, is one of the most
important keys to creating a healthy, growing, &
lasting relationship. 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! Life is too short to
wake up with regrets, Love the people who treat
you right & forget about the ones who don't.
ENJOY LIFE NOW - IT HAS AN EXPIRATION DATE!
