<DIV></DIV>> > By the time the Lord made woman, he was into His
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > sixth day of working overtime. An angel appeared
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > and said, "Why are you spending so much time on
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > this one?"
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > And the Lord answered, "Have you seen My spec
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > sheet on her? She has to be completely washable,
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > but not plastic, have over 200 movable parts, all
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > replaceable and able to run on diet coke and
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > leftovers, have a lap that can hold four children at
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > one time, have a kiss that can cure anything from
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > a scraped knee to a broken heart -- and she will do
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > everything with only two hands."
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > The angel was astounded at the requirements. "Only
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > two hands!? No way! And that's just on the standard
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > ? That's too much work for one day. Wait until
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > tomorrow to finish."
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > But I won't," the Lord protested. "I am so close to
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > finishing this Creation that is so close to My heart.
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > She already heals herself when she is sick AND can
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > work 18 hour days."
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > The angel moved closer and touched the woman.
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > "But you have Made her so soft, Lord." She is soft,"
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > the Lord agreed, "but I have also made Her tough.
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish."
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > Will she be able to think?", asked the angel. The
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > Lord replied, "Not only will she be able to think, she
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > will be able to reason and negotiate."
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > The angel then noticed something, and reaching out,
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > touched the Woman's cheek. "Oops, it looks like you
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > have a leak in this . I told you that you were
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > trying to put too much into this one." "That's not a
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > leak," the Lord corrected, "that's a Tear!"
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > "What's the tear for?" the angel asked.
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > her joy, her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment,
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > her love, her loneliness, her grief And her pride."
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > The angel was impressed. "You are a genius, Lord.
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > You thought of Everything! Woman is truly amazing."
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > And she is!! Women have strengths that amaze men.
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > they hold happiness, love and joy. They smile when
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > they want to scream. They sing when they want to
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > cry. They cry when they are happy and laugh when
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > they are nervous. They fight for what they believe
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > in. They stand up to injustice. They don't take "no"
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > for an answer when they believe there is a better
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > solution. They go without so their family can have.
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > They go to the doctor with a frightened friend. They
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > love unconditionally. They cry when their children
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > excel and cheer when their friends get awards.
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > They are happy when they hear about a birth or
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > a wedding. Their hearts break when a friend dies.
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > are strong when they think there is no strength left.
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > They know that a hug and a kiss can help to heal a
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > broken heart. Women come in all sizes, in all colors
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > and shapes. They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > you to show how much they care about you. The
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > heart of a woman is what makes the world keep
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > turning!
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > They bring joy and hope. They have compassion
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > and ideals. They give moral support to their family
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > and friends. Women have vital things to say and
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > everything to give.
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > However if there's one flaw in women, it is that
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > they tend to forget their worth.
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > Pass this along to your women friends to remind
<DIV></DIV>> >
<DIV></DIV>> > them how amazing they are!!
