我爱我家

回家的感觉是很好的。只是，在槟城自由自在(自生自灭)惯了，没人敢管我，回到来，每天都被妈妈骂，还真不习惯。妈妈看我，每天都很有意见，老说我不懂得照顾自己啦，不运动啦，体弱多病啦，不懂得照顾女儿啦，煮的菜太油太咸啦，乱七八糟一大堆。唉，妈妈就是妈妈。我当然知道她的苦心，可是要让自己习惯挨骂却又不吭声实在是一件很难的事。看着爸拔和妹妹们四两拨千金的功力，还真让我自叹不如！再过些时候吧，相信我的道行和EQ会变得高一点。我爱我的家！

Burnt Toast

A beautiful story to ponder upon … if everyone in this world learn to appreciate and accept others’ mistakes … life will be more beautiful.

This is a nice story ... Embracing Imperfection.

A story by a girl.

"When I was a little girl, 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 toast in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, 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 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 burned toast.' Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if He really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, 'Debbie, 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'm not the best housekeeper or cook too.' What I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each other's faults - and choosing to celebrate each other's 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 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 friendship!! "

"Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket but into your own." See through God's eyes and feel through God's heart and you will appreciate the value of every soul including yourself.

May God bless you all richly.
