Later the little boy asked his father, " Why does mother
seem to cry for no reason?" " 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,
the man said, " God, why women cry so easily?"
God said, "When I made women 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 come 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 them very badly.
This same sensitivity helps her make a child's boo hoo feel
better and shares in their teenagers' anxieties and fears..
I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults
and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.
I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his
wife, 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. 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."
" Every woman is beautiful."
