The One Flaw In Women
By the time God made woman,

They were into the sixth day of

working overtime.

An angel appeared and said,

'Why are you spending so much

time on this one?'

And God 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,' God 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,' God 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.

God 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,'

God corrected, 'that's a tear!'

'What's the tear for?' the angel asked.

God 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, God.

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 FORGET

THEIR WORTH.

PLEASE pass this along to all your women friends and relatives

to remind them just how amazing they are, if they have time to read
this.
