Did anyone tell you that you're beautiful?
By the time the Lord made women, 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 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 four children at one time,
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!", "And that's just
on the standard model?" the Angel asked.
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 own heart. She already heals
herself when she is sick AND can work 18 hour days.
The Angel moved closer and touched the man,"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 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's 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 strengths that amaze men. 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 so their family can have. They go
to the doctor with a frightened friend. They love unconditionally.
They cry when the ir children excel and cheer when their friends
get awards.
They are happy when they hear about a birth or a new
marriage. Their hearts 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 come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how ch they
care about you. The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin!
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.
