When I was a child, my mom liked to make food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night
36 when she made dinner after a long,
37 day at work.
On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burned toast in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone
38 ! Yet all my dad did was to
39 his toast, smile at my mom, and ask me how my day was at school. I don’t remember what I
40 him that night, but I do remember
41 him smear(涂上)butter on that toast and eat
42 bite!
43 I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom
44 to my dad for burning the toast.
45 I’ll never forget what he said: “Baby, I
46 burnt toast.”
Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy
47 and I asked him if he really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, “Son, your mom
48 a hard day at work today and she’s really
49 . And besides, a little burnt toast never
50 anyone!”
You know, life is full of imperfect things…and imperfect people. I’m not the best housekeeper or cook. What I’ve learned over the years is that learning to accept each other’s
51 and choosing to celebrate each other’s differences is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy and
52 relationship.
And this is my prayer for you today: you’ll learn to take the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of your life and
53 them at the feet of God, because
54 , he’s the only one who will be able to give you a relationship where burnt toast isn’t a deal-breaker(煞风景)！
We could extend(推广)this to any relationship in fact
55 understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship!
