Woman

By the time the Lord made woman, He was into his 6th 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 moveable parts, all replaceable and able to run on diet coke and leftovers, have a lap that can hold 4 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 2 hands."

The angel was astounded at the requirements.

"Only 2 hands!?!  No way!  And that's just on the standard model?  That's just 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 is so close to my own heart.  She already heals herself  when she 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 that 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, et 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 email you to show you how much they care about you.  They 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, there is one tiny flaw in women.  It's that they forget their worth!

I don't know why I am sharing this today, I guess God knows you are going to see this post whoever you are.  And I pray that by you reading this you will remember just what you ARE worth and know exactly what you ARE NOT !  No matter how you may feel sometimes- unheard, unseen, etc.-you are not hidden.  You are uniquely crafted by His very own hands and you matter!!  You have been carved out for a purpose that only you can fulfill.  You are wonderfully made because you are God's work, His masterpiece, created in Christ to fulfill th plans He has for you today!

"For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb.  I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;  your works are wonderful, I know that too well."  Psalm 139:13-14
