| THE BURNT BISCUITS STORY... | Monday, February 08, 2010 |

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 friendship!
"Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket - keep it in your own."
God Bless You. Now, and Always.... from: aiwuni@yahoo.com

I made you. Your different. Your unique. With love I formed you in your mother's womb. I fashioned you with great joy. I remember with great pleasure the day I created you. To Me your beautiful......I love you! I love your smile, I love your ways. I love your laugh and the silly things you say and do. You are yourself and no one else.....this is how I made you. I made you pretty, but not beautiful, because I know your heart and you would become vain. I want you to search out your heart and learn that it would be Me in you that makes you beautiful and it would be Me in you that would draw friends to you. I made you in such a way that you would need Me. I made you a little more lonesome than you would like to be, only because I want you to learn to depend on Me. I know your heart. I know if I had not made you like this you would go about your own way, and forget Me.....your Creator. I have given you many good things and happy things, because I love you. I have seen your broken heart and the tears you cried all alone. I have been with you and have had a broken heart too. Many times you have stumbled and fallen alone only because you would not take My hand. So many lessons you have learned the hard way because you would not listen to My voice. So I watch you return to My arms: sad and broken.....And now you are Mine again. I made you and then bought you. I paid a high price for you because I love you. I have had to reshape and mold you, to renew you to what I had planned you to be. It has not been easy for you.....or Me. I want you to be confident and conformed to My image. This high goal I have set for you, because.........I LOVE YOU!!

Speak of Jesus' Wonderful Love
Your love to me was extraordinary.
2 Samuel 1:26
2 Samuel 1:26
Come, dear readers, let each one of us speak for himself of the wonderful love, not of Jonathan, but of Jesus. We will not relate what we have been told, but the things that we have tasted and handled--of the love of Christ. Your love to me, O Jesus, was wonderful when I was a stranger wandering far from You, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind. Your love restrained me from committing the sin that is unto death and withheld me from self-destruction. Your love held back the axe when Justice said, "Cut it down! Why does it clutter the ground?"
Your love drew me into the wilderness, stripped me there, and made me feel the guilt of my sin and the burden of my iniquity. Your love spoke comfortably to me when I was deeply troubled--"Come to Me, and I will give you rest." Oh, how matchless Your love when, in a moment, You washed my sins away and made my polluted soul, which was crimson with the blood of my nativity and black with the grime of my transgressions, to be white as the driven snow and pure as the finest wool.
How You commended Your love when You whispered in my ears, "I am yours, and you are Mine." Those were kind words when you declared, "The Father Himself loves you." And sweet were the moments when You commended to me the love of the Spirit.
My soul shall never forget those chambers of fellowship where You unveiled Yourself to me. Moses had his cleft in the rock, where he saw the train, the back parts, of his God. We, too, have had our clefts in the rock, where we have seen the full splendors of the Godhead in the person of Christ. Did David remember the tracks of the wild goat, the land of Jordan and the Hermonites? We, too, can remember spots dear to our memory, equal to these in blessedness. Precious Lord Jesus, give us a fresh taste of Your wondrous love with which to begin the month. Amen ... By Charles H. Spurgeon

But holding on to God is hard when wrestling with our doubt, and when the storms are fiercest, and our boat is tossed around.
It’s then our faith is shaken, when the Master’s sound asleep, not knowing we are sinking, and the waters’ round are deep.
We then wonder how He, who’s Lord of all the land and sea, could seem to be so unaware of our catastrophe.
It’s when our faith seems weakest, God will calm the sea and soul, and when we are most broken that He’ll touch, and make us whole.
by Sister Miriam Barker, C.D.S

"Great faith is NOT dependent upon your ancestry/background; it’s dependent upon the attitude of your heart. Faith w/out any object is pointless. Faith is based on brokenness before the Lord. Many times God delays the answer in our lives so He can bring us to a place of greater faith in Him. What’s stopping you from trusting, having faith and truly worshiping God? Remember a living faith is active and fulfils scripture".
