When I was a kid, my Mom liked to cook food and every now
& then I remember she used to cook for us.
One night in particular when she
had made dinner after a long hard day at work, Mom placed a plate of bread jam
and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad.
I was waiting to see if
anyone noticed the burnt biscuits !!
But Dad just ate his biscuit and asked me
how was my day at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do
remember I heard Mom apologizing 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 I asked him if he really liked his
biscuits burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said,
"Your momma put in a
long hard day at work today and she was really tired. And besides... A burnt
biscuit never hurts anyone but harsh words do!"
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 other’s differences, is one of the most
important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.
Life is too short to wake up with regrets...So Love the
people who treat you right and have compassion for the ones who don't...
ENJOY
LIFE NOW....
It has an expiry date.
