ESSENCE OF A WOMAN
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." "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
man through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.
I gave her wisdom to know
that a good man never hurts his woman, 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."- (fr. facebook)
