Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out
how much of themselves they give away.
I think God made a woman to be strong and not to be trampled under the
feet of anybody. I've always felt this way because my mother is a very
strong woman, my father died when I was very young. Here are some
inspiring words of wisdom about the qualities of women.
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 my spec sheet on her? She has
to be completely washable, but not plastic, have over 200 movable parts,
all replaceable and able to 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 a scraped knee to a broken heart-and she will do everything
with only two hands."
The angel was astounded at the requirements. "Only two 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 won't," the Lord protested. "I am so close to
finishing this creation that+
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 bear
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 heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors. They'll 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 keep turning. They bring joy, hope and love. They
have compassion and ideals. They give moral support to their family and
friends. Women have vital things to say and everything to give.
However, if there is one flaw in women, it is that, they don't realize their
worth.

To
the world, you maybe one person, but to one person, you maybe the world.
In
serving, we receive much more than we could ever give away. Love
is, above all, the gift of oneself.
