Well sometimes you chance upon something really so nice that you wanna share it with all the people you know and even that you don't.
I too chanced upon a very interesting forward, which I would like to share with you all, so here goes
I too chanced upon a very interesting forward, which I would like to share with you all, so here goes
When I was a little boy, 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 she 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: Honey, I love burnt toast. Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his toast burnt. He wrapped me in his arms and said, "Johnny, your Momma put in a lot of hard day at work today and she’s real tired. And besides a little burnt toast never hurts 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 others faults - and choosing to celebrate each others differences - is the 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.
