Burnt Toast...
A story by a girl.
"When I was a little girl, 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 toast in front of my dad. I remember waiting to
see if anyone noticed!
Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, 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
toast 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 toast. And
I'll never forget what he said:
'Baby, I love burned toast.'Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if
He really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said,
'Debbie, your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real
tired. And besides-a little burnt toast never hurt anyone!' You know,
life is full of imperfect things.....and imperfect people. I'm not the
best housekeeper or cook.'
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 burnt toast isn't a deal-breaker!
We could extend this to any relationship in fact - as 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 but
into your own."
See through God's eyes and feel through God's heart
And you will appreciate the value of every soul including yourself.
God bless you all richly
Have a wonderful day !
