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 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 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 w oman 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 FORGET THEIR WORTH.
 
Please pass this along to all your women friends and relatives to remind
them just how amazing they are.
 
 
When Life gives you lemons, make lemonade
