Accept and Celebrate!

Posted by Margi on Apr 29, 2011

I received this email the other day. It’s a great reminder of how much our world can focus more on the light of others and ourselves. No matter what you experience or come across in life remember that love shines brightly to get you through any difficulties, any negative thoughts or judgments. We are all doing our best and that is always good enough. Don’t be so hard on yourself or others. We are all on this journey together, traveling similar paths with our own beautiful colors. Peace

PASS THE BISCUITS author unknown

 

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 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 long hard day at work today and she’s real tired.  And besides… a burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!”

You know, 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.  What I’ve learned over the years is that learning to accept each others faults and choosing to celebrate each others differences, is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.
