By the time the Lord made woman, he was into his
sixth day of working
overtime.
An angel appeared and said, "Why are you spending so
much time on this
one?"
And the Lord answered, "Have you seen my spec sheet on
her? She has to
be
completely washable, but not plastic, have over 200
movable parts,
all
replaceable and able to run on diet coke and
leftovers, have a lap
that
can hold four children at one time, have a kiss
that can cure
anything
from a scraped knee to a broken heart -and she will
do everything
with
only two hands."
The angel was astounded at the requirements. "Only two
hands!? No way!
And
that's just on the standard model? That's too much
work for one day.
Wait
until tomorrow to finish."
But I won't," the Lord protested. "I am so close to
finishing this
creation
that is so close to my own heart. She already heals
herself when she
is
sick AND can work 18 hour days."
The angel moved closer and touched the woman. "But
you have made her
so
soft, Lord."
"She is soft," the Lord agreed, "but I have also made
her tough. You
have
no
idea what she can endure or accomplish."
"Will she be able to think?", asked the angel.
The Lord replied, "Not only will she be able to think,
she will be able
to
reason and negotiate."
The angel then noticed something, and reaching out,
touched the woman's
cheek. "Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this
model. I told
you
that you were trying to put too much into this one."
"That's not a leak," the Lord corrected, "that's a
tear!"
"What's the tear for?" the angel asked.
The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing her
joy, her sorrow,
her
pain, her disappointment, her love, her loneliness,
her grief and her
pride."
The angel was impressed. "You are a genius, Lord.
You thought of
everything! Woman is truly amazing."
And she is! Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear
hardships
and
they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love
and joy. They
smile
when they want to scream. They sing when they want
to cry.They cry
when
they are happy and laugh when they are nervous. They
fight for what
they
believe in. They stand up to injustice.They don't take
"no" for an
answer
when they believe there is a better solution. They go
without so their
family can have. They go to the doctor with a
frightened
friend.They
love unconditionally. They cry when their children
excel and cheer
when
their friends get awards.They are happy when they hear
about a birth
or
a
wedding. Their hearts break when a friend dies.They
grieve at the
loss of
a family member, yet they are strong when they
think there is no
strength left.They know that a hug and a kiss can
heal a broken
heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.They'll
drive, fly, walk,
run or
e-mail you to show how much they care about you. The
heart of a woman
is
what makes the world keep turning. They bring joy,
hope and love.
They
have compassion and ideals. They give moral support
to their family
and
friends. Women have vital things to say and everything
to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT
THEY FORGET THEIR
WORTH.
