reminds us all of a basic trait missing in humans today. ENJOY!!

"When I was a little girl, 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 burnt 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 at school was. 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. And I'll never forget what
he said: 'Baby, I love burnt 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,
'Debbie, your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real
tired. And besides-a little burnt toast never hurt anyone!'
You know, life is full of imperfect things...and imperfect people. I'm
not the best housekeeper or cook.
What I've learnt over the years is that learning to accept each
other's faults - and choosing to celebrate each other's 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!
PS: Do not whine that you are burdened with difficulties. As you
undergo more difficulties, your karma will reduce. If someone comes
across unbearable problems or difficulties, one has to understand that
they are going to see good times shortly.
