EMBRACING IMPERFECTION


When I was a little girl, I could remember, my mom making breakfast and dinner for us. 
And I remember one night in particular, when she had made dinner after a long, hard day at work. 
On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of egg, sausage, and extrmely burned toast in front of my dad. 
I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed. 
Yet all my dad did was, to reach for his toast, smile at 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.

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 burnt. 
He wrapped me in his arms and said 
Dear , 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 am not the best housekeeper or cook. 
  
What I'v learnt over the years 
Is that learning to accept each other's faults 
And choosing to celebrate each other's difference 
Is one of the most important keys 
for 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 reationship 
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 even with friends. 
  
Don't put the key to your happiness in 
Someone else's pocket, but, into your own.
