This is beautiful...

> > ‘When I was a kid, my mom liked to make
> breakfast

> > 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 biscuit 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
> > 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 hard day at work today and
> > she's real tired. And besides - a little
> burnt

> > never hurt anyone!"’

> > What I've learned over the years is that
> learning to

> > each
> > other's differences - is one of the most

> > to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting

> > And that's my prayer for you today. That you

> parts of
> > your
> > life and let life flow. Know that we are all
> doing
> > our
> > very best on any given day - a burnt

> > isn't
> > a deal-breaker!

> > We could extend this to any relationship. In
