By the time the Lord made woman, he was into his sixth day of working overtime.  An angel appeared and said, "Why are you spending so much time on this one?"  and the Lord answered, "Have you seen the spec sheet on her?  She has to be completely washable, but not plastic, have over 200 movable parts, all irreplaceable and able to run on diet coke and left overs, have a lap that can hold four children at one time, have a kiss that can cure almost anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart and she will do every thing with only two hands."  The angel was astounded at the requirements.  "Only two hands?  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 she is so 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."  The Lord corrected, "it's a tear."  "What's a 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 genius lord.  You thought of everything.  Woman is truly an impressive creation."  And she is.  Women  have strength 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 don't take no for an answer when they believe there's a better solution.  They go without so their family can have.  They love unconditionally.  They grieve at the loss of a family member yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.  Women come in all shapes and 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.

Happy Mother's Day.
