AND GOD CREATED WOMAN....
By the time the Lord made mothers, He was in His Six day of
working overtime. An Angel appeared
and said, “Why are you spending so much time on this one?” And the Lord
answered and said, “Have you seen the spec sheet on her? She has to be completely washable, but not plastic, have 200
movable parts, all replaceable, run on black coffee and leftovers, have a lap
that can hold three children at one time and that disappears when she stand up,
have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart, and
have six pairs of hands”
The Angel was astounded at the requirements for this
one. “Six pairs of hands! No Way!” said the Angel.
The Lord replied, “Oh it’s not the hands that are the problem.
It’s the three pairs of eyes that mothers must have!”
And that is just on the standard model?” the
Angel asked.
The Lord nodded in agreement. “Yep, one pair of eyes to see through the closed doors as
she asks her children what they are doing even though she already knows. Another
pair in the back of her head are to see what she needs to know
even though no one thinks she can. And
the third pair of eyes pair of eyes are here in front of her head. They are
looking at an errand child and saying she understands and loves him without
saying a single word.”
The Angel tried to stop the Lord> “This is too much
work for one day. Wait until tomorrow to finish.
“ But I can’t!“ The Lord protested, “I am so close
to finishing this creation that is so close to my heart. She already heals
herself when she is sick AND can feed a family of six on a pound of hamburger
and can get a mine-year-old to stand in the shower.”
The Angel moved closer and touched the woman, “But
you have made her so soft, Lord.” “She
is soft”, 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
noticed something and reached out and touched the woman’s cheek. “Oops, it
looks like you have a leak with this model. I told you that you were trying to
put too much into this one.” “That is not a leak.” The Lord objected.
“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 loneliness, her grief, and
her pride.” The Angel was
impressed. “You are a genius, Lord, You
thought of everything, for WOMEN are truly amazing.”
Women have strength that amaze men.
They carry children, they carry hardships, 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 for injustice. They
don’t take “no” for an answer when they believe there is a better
solution. They go without new shoes so their children can have them.
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 of a new marriage. Their
hearths break when a friend dies. They have sorrow 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 in all sizes, in all colors and shapes.
They drive, fly, walk, run of email you to show how much they care about
you. The heart of a woman is what
makes the world spin! Women do more than give birth. They bring joy and hope.
They give compassion and ideals. They give moral support to their family
and friends. Women have a lot to say and a lot to give. This has been sent to
you from someone that respect you as a woman…
Pass it along to your women friends to remind them how
amazing they are…
Pass it along to mothers you know.
