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 mum 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, the man said, " God,
why women cry so easily?"
God
said, "When I made women 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 come 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 them very badly.
This
same sensitivity helps her make a child's boo hoo feel better and shares in
their teenagers' anxieties and fears..
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. 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."
"
Every woman is beautiful."
