It's a life of imperfection....

It’s a life of imperfection….

 

"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. 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 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 – professional or personal relationships!! "


"Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket but into your own."

BEWARE OF RUBBER HAIR BANDS AND SLIPPERS FROM CHINA....!!!

BEWARE OF RUBBER HAIR BANDS and SLIPPERS from China !!!!!

 

Be cautious of hair bands at open markets around the city too ?

they are probably from China since they are purchased in bulk

very very cheap !!!!

 

Take a good look before buying hair bands in future ?

especially the following kind?...

These Hair bands were made from used

condoms and threads

BEIJING (AFP) - Used condoms are being recycled into

hair bands in southern China threatening to spread

sexually-transmitta ble diseases they were originally

meant to prevent, state media reported Tuesday

 

In the la test example of potentially harmful Chinese-made

products, rubber hair bands have been found in local markets

and beauty salons in Dongguan and Guangzhou cities in

southern Guangdong province, China Daily newspaper said.

 

'These cheap and colorful rubber bands and hair ties sell well .....

threatening the health of local people,' it said..

 

Despite being recycled, the hair bands could still contain

bacteria and viruses, it said.

 

'People could be infected with AIDS, (genital) warts or other

diseases if they hold the rubber bands or strings in their mouths

while waving their hair into plaits or buns,' the paper quoted a

local dermatologist who gave only his surname, Dong, as saying.

A bag of ten of the recycled bands sells for just 25 sen (three cents),

much cheaper than others on the market, accounting for their popularity,

the paper said.

 

A government official was quoted as saying recycling condoms

was illegal..   China 's manufacturing industry has been

repeatedly tarnished this year by a string of scandals

involving shoddy or dangerous goods made for both

domestic and foreign markets.

 

In response, it launched a public relations blitz this summer

aimed at playing up efforts to strengthen monitoring systems.

Check your kids hair bands and make sure they do not put

them in their mouth while trying to plait or tie their hair .

 

See below for Chinese Slippers now being sold in Walmart in the US .  

 

REMEMBER THE PAINT ON KIDS TOYS ?

 

This is very true as I heard it in news from one of our local radios

here that our govt has to be extra careful on these cheap imports

from china. These includes clothes, food, toys, slippers and even

glasses because the Chinese are using some strong but cheap

chemical in their manufactures. Cheap is becoming expensive

and at the same time fatal. I nearly bought one pair of the slippers

below for myself last week at the Japanese $2 shop at IMM last week.

These slippers are also sold in Walmart, USA and same complaints received.

I m not very sure if all this is true but to my logical understanding all this is possible be it even to the people in China and hence being cautious is no harm.  So the next time you see a cheaper rubber band or a cheaper slipper I guess you would remember to investigate it before you go for it….
