When I was a little boy, 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 home. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of vegetables, salad and burned chapati in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed' Yet all my dad did was, to reach for his chapati, 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 chatani on that chapati 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 chapati. And I'll never forget what he said. Honey, I love burnt chapati. Later that night, I went to kiss daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his chapati 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 chapati never hurt anyone. You know life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people.
I am not the best housekeeper or cook. What I've learn t over the years Is that learning to accept each others faults And choosing to celebrate each others 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 relationship Where burnt chapatti 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
