One day a
young boy asked his mom,
“Why are
you crying?”
“Because
I’m a woman” she told him.
I don’t
understand,” he said
His mom
just hugged him and said,
And you
never will, but that’s okay.””
Later the
little boy asked his father,
“Why does
mom seems to cry for no reason?”
“Alle 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 back to him, he asked,
“God, why
do women cry so easily?”
God
answered,
“When
I made woman, I decided she had to be
special.
I made her
shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet her arms gentle
enough to give comfort.
I gave her
the inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times will
come, even from her own children.
I gave her
a hardness that allows her to keep going and take care of her family and
friends, even when everyone else gives up, 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 her badly.
She has the
very special power to make a child’s boo-boo feel better and to quell a
teenager’s anxieties and fears.
I gave her
the strength to care for her husband, despite faults, and I 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 by him unfalteringly.
For all of
this hard work, I also gave her a tear to shed. It is hers to use whenever
needed and is her
only weakness. When you see her cry, tell her how much you love her and all she
does for everyone. And even though she may still cry, you will have made her
heart feel good. She is special!"
