    Pass Me The Biscuitts!

    This was sent to me and I thought that I would share it here, because
    each of you has enriched my life in some way. Thank you for being my friend.
    ************************************************** ********


    When I was a kid, 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 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 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 ugly
    burned biscuit. He ate every bite of that thing... never made a face
    nor uttered a word about it!

    When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my Mom
    apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I'll never forget
    what he said: "Honey, I love burned biscuits every now and then."

    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 hard day at work today and she's real tired. And
    besides - a little burned biscuit never hurt anyone!"

    As I've grown older, I've thought about that many times. 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. But 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 a burnt biscuit isn't
    a deal-breaker!

    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." 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. Be
    kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of
    battle.

    "Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point."

    Your father was married to my wife? She burns the cat heads every time she bakes them. Well you can not see it after you put the sawmill gravy on them or mix up a little bit of butter and sour wood honey. I better not complain it has fill this old fat belly many a time. Thanks Doug for the enlightenment.
