The burnt biscuit will just do fine !!!

There was a little boy whose mother would cook all the meals for the family every day. One evening after a long, hard day at work, she placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned biscuits in front of the little boy and his Dad. The little boy wondered if his Dad noticed! Yet all his dad did was to reach for the biscuit, smile at his Mom and ask him how his day was at school. The little boy did not remember what he told him, but he did remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that biscuit and eat every bite. When he got up from the table that evening, he remembered that his mother apologized to his Dad for burning the biscuits and would never forget what he replied: “Honey, I love burned biscuits.”

Later that night, he went to his Dad and asked him if he really liked the biscuits burned. The father wrapped him in his arms and said, “Your Mummy put in a hard day at work today and she’s real tired. And besides – a little burnt biscuit never hurt anyone.”

Life is full of imperfect things…and imperfect people. We are not always the best at everything, but 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.

We need to learn to take the good, the bad and the ugly part of people who matters to us.

“Don’t put the key to your happiness in someone else’s pocket –keep it in your own.”

So please go for the biscuits anyway, the burnt one will do just fine.!..!..!..!
