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 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 biscuit never hurt anyone!”
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. But 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.
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 a burnt  biscuit isn’t a deal-breaker!
We could extend this to any relationship.  In fact, understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a  husband-wife or parent-child or brother-sister or friendship!
“Don’t put the key to your  happiness in someone else’s pocket – keep it in your own.”
