Why Women
Cry"A 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 put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he
asked, "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." ~ UnknownWhen God Made
Women
"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 three children at one time and that
disappears when she stands 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 women must have!”
“And that’s just on the
standard model?” The Angel asked.
The Lord nodded in agreement, “Yes, one
pair of eyes are to see through the closed door 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 are here in the front of her head. They are for looking at an
errant child and saying that she understands and loves him or her without even
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 own
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 nine year old to stand in the
shower.”
The Angel moved closer and touched the woman, “But you have made her
so soft, Lord.”
“Yes, 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 inquisitive Angel.
The Lord smiled and 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 is 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 disappointment, her pain, her loneliness, her grief, and her pride.”
The
Angel was impressed. “You are a genius, Lord. You thought of everything! Truly,
You do all things well… Women are truly amazing!”
