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 colours. They'll drive, fly, walk,
run or e-mail you this 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 FORGET THEIR WORTH.
