I don't know who wrote this article about women. If I did know, I would certainly give them credit. You may have already read this, but it's so special, it won't hurt to read it again.
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 the spec. sheet on her?"
"She has to be completely washable, but not plastic, have over 200 parts, all replaceable, 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 scraped knee to a broken heart and have two pairs of hands."
The angel was astounded at the requirements. "Two pairs of 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 can't," the Lord said. "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 bare 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 help to heal a broken heart.
* The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning! They bring joy and hope.
* They have compassion and ideals.
* They give moral support to family and friends.
Woman has vital things to say and everything to give. Woman come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes. They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.
Following is some Wisdom from an elderly Navajo women: -
For all of us who are married, were married, wish you were married, or wish you weren't married, this is something to smile about the next time you serve wine.
Sally was driving home from one of her business trips in Northern Arizona. She saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of the road. Since the trip was long, she stopped the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would like a ride.
With a silent nod of thanks, the woman got into the car. Resuming the journey, Sally tried in vain to make a bit of small talk with the Navajo woman. The old woman just sat silently, looking intently at everything she saw, studying every little detail, until she noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Sally.
What's in the bag?" asked the old woman. Sally looked down at the brown bag and said, "It's a bottle of wine, I got it for my husband."
The Navajo woman was silent for another moment or two. Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, she said, "Good trade."
