When The Lord Made Woman

E J Hughes wrote:
By the time the Lord made women, 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
and said, "Have you seen the spec sheet on her?
She has to be completely washable, but not
plastic, have 200 movable parts, all
replaceable, run on black coffee and leftovers,
have a lap that can hold three children at one
time, have a kiss that can cure anything from a
scraped knee to a broken heart, and have six
pairs off hands."
The Angel was astounded at the requirements for
this one. "Six pairs of hands! No Way!", "And
that's just on the standard model?" the Angel
asked.
The Angel tried to stop the Lord. "This is too
much work for one day. Wait until tomorrow to
finish."
"But I can'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 reached
out and touched the woman's cheek. "Oops, it
looks like you have a leak with this model. I
told you that you were trying to put too much
into this one."
"That's not a leak," the Lord objected, "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 loneliness, her grief, and
her pride."
The Angel was impressed. "You are a genius,
Lord. You thought of everything, for women are
truly amazing. "Women have strengths that amaze
men. They carry hardships, 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
for 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 new marriage. Their hearts break
when a friend dies. They have sorrow 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
sizes, in all colors and shapes. They all
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 spin! They bring joy
and hope. They give
compassion and ideals. They give moral support
to their family and friends. Women have a lot
to say and a lot to give.
