This was sent to me by a friend, I hope some of you enjoy it. ONE FLAW IN WOMEN (We sometimes need a reminder)
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.
