WOMAN
Posted: Sun Aug 09, 2009 11:11 pmA little boy asked his mother, "Why are you
crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him.
"I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged
him and said, "And you never will."
Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does
mother seem to cry for no reason?"
"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad
could say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still
wondering why women cry.
Finally he asked God. He said, "God, why do
women cry so easily?"
God said:
" When I made the woman she had to be special.
I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the
weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give
comfort.
I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth
and
the rejection that many times comes from her
children.
I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going
when everyone else gives up, and take care of her
family through sickness and fatigue without
complaining.
I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under
any and all circumstances, even when her child
has hurt her very badly.
I gave her strength to carry her husband through
his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect
his heart.
I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband
never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her
strengths and her resolve to stand beside him
unfalteringly.
And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers
exclusively to use whenever it is needed."
"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a
woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure
that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes,
because that is the doorway to her heart - the
place where love resides."
