Burnt Toast
The story goes,
When I was a little boy, my mom liked to make breakfast food
for dinner every
now and then. I remember one night in particular
when she had made breakfast
after a long, hard day of taking
care of us kids, running errands, and all of
her other chores.
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.
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,
'Little Buddy, your
Momma put in a hard long day today
and she's real tired. Besides, a little burnt
toast never hurt anyone'!
I've learned over the years to accept each other's faults.
You know, life is
full of imperfect things...and imperfect people.
Choosing to celebrate each
other's differences may be one of the most
important keys to creating healthy,
happy, and lasting relationships.
And that's my hope for you today and always,
through the good, bad, and even the
ugly parts of your life;
be kind at all times!
Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket,
try keeping it in
your own.
People may forget what you do, and they may forget what you say,
but they will
never forget the way you made them feel.
You maybe the only Bible,
someone might only read.
