Tolerance is a virtue..Enjoy it!!

Here’s an excellent story on understanding and tolerance….

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. None is the best housekeeper or cook.

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 the one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting the 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 can extend this to any relationship as understanding is the base of any relationship.


LIFE IS A CELEBRATION ENJOY IT!!!!

SOME THINGS CANNOT BE FORGOTTEN....

How did one survive growing up in the 70's, 80's and 90's?
We had no seatbelts, no airbags..

Cycling was like a breath of fresh air…

No safety helmets, knee pads or elbow pads, with plenty of cardboards
between spokes to make it sound like a motorbike…

When thirsty we only drank tap water, bottled water was still a mystery…

We kept busy collecting bits & pieces so we could build all sort of things
and we were fearless on our bicycles even when the brakes failed going
downhill…

We were showing off how tough we are, by how high we could climb trees
& then jumping down….It was great fun….

We could stay out to play for hours, as long as we got back before dark, in
time for dinner…

We walked to school, or sometimes we even rode our bicycle.

We had no mobile phones, but we always managed to find each other….
How?

We lost teeth, broke arms & legs, we got cuts and bruises and bloody
noses…. nobody complained as we had so much fun, it wasn't anybody's
fault, only ours

We ate everything in sight, cakes, bread, chocolate, ice-cream, sweet
sugary drinks, fruits..yet, we stayed skinny by fooling around.

And if one of us was lucky to find a 1 litre coca cola bottle we all had a
swig from it & guess what? Nobody picked up any germs...

We did not have Play Stations, MP3, Nintendo's, I-Pods, Video games,
99 Cable TV channels, DVD's, Home Cinema, Home Computers,Laptops,
Chat-rooms, Internet, etc ...

BUT, we had REAL FRIENDS!!!!

We called on friends to come out to play, never rang the doorbell, just
went around the backdoor…

We played with sticks and stones, played cowboys and Indians, doctors
and  nurses, hide and seek, soccer games, over and over again…

When we failed our exams we were given a second chance by simply
repeating the same grade…without visiting psychiatrists, psychologists or counselors…

Such were the days…

We had freedom, success, disappointments and responsibilities. .. 

Most of all, we learned to respect others… 


Are YOU from that generation?? If that's the case, email this to all your
friends from the same era… This message will help them forget the stress that surrounds us these days….and just for a few moments puts a smile to their faces as they remember what life  was really like in the good old days……
