God Created Women

When God created Woman, he was working late on the 6th day.

An angel came by and said: “Why spend so much time on that one?”

And the Lord answered: “Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape her?"

"She must be washable, but not made of plastic, have more than 200 moving parts which all must be replaceable and she must function on all kinds of food, she must be able to embrace several kids at the same time, give a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart and she must do all this with only two hands.”

The angel was impressed.

“Just two hands....impossible!“

"And this is the standard model?!"

“That's too much work for one day....wait until tomorrow and then complete her.“

“I will not do that,” said God. “I am so close to completing this creation, which will be the favourite of my heart.”

“She cures herself when she's sick and she can work for 18 hours a day.”

The angel came nearer and touched the woman.

“But you have made her so soft, Lord!”

“She is soft", said God, “But I have also made her strong. You can’t imagine what she can endure and overcome.“

“Can she think?" the angel asked.

The Lord answered:

“Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate."

The angel touched the woman's cheek..

“God, it seems this creation of Yours is leaking! You have put too many burdens on her.”

“She is not leaking..these are tears,” God corrected the angel.

“What’s all that for?" asked the angel.

And the Lord said:

“Tears are her way of expressing grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride.”

This made a big impression on the angel: “God, you are an absolute genius!"

"You thought of everything. The woman is indeed marvellous!"

And indeed she is!

God created women to have many strengths and abilities.
She can handle trouble with a heart of peace and carry heavy burdens.
She holds happiness, love and opinions.
She smiles when she feels like screaming.
She sings when she feels like crying, cries when she is happy and laughs when she is afraid.
She fights for what she believes in and stands up against injustice.
She doesn’t take “no” for an answer, when she can see a better solution.
She sacrifices and gives herself up so her loved ones can thrive.
Her love is caring and unconditional.
She cries in joy when her kids are victorious. She is exuberantly happy when her friends do well.
She is cheerfully glad when she hears of a birth or a wedding.
Her heart is broken when a next of kin or friend dies.
She knows that a kiss and a hug can heal a broken heart.
In times of trial, she finds the strength and perseverance to press on in life.

There is only one thing wrong with her..
She often forgets what she is worth..

Thank you Lord for blessing us with loving Mums and with God-fearing + God-loving women who impact our lives so greatly..our loved ones, our sisters, our friends, our mentors, our missionaries..they make such a huge difference to our lives..we praise you dearest Lord for each precious one..for each dear one is a wondrous creation of You. =)

Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.

~ Proverbs 31:30
