Being a mom

"Why are you crying?" he asked his mom. "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"....

Later the little boy asked his father,"Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?""All 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 on the phone, the man said,

"GOD, why do women cry so easily?"

GOD said....

When I made woman she had to be special.

I made her shoulders strong enoughto carry the weight of the world;

yet, gentle enough to give comfort....

I gave her an inner strength to endurechildbirth and the rejection that many times

comes from her children....

I gave her a hardness that allows herto keep going when everyone else gives upand take care of her family through

sickness and fatigue without complaining....

I gave her the sensitivity to love herchildren under any and all circumstances,

even when her child has hurt them very badly....

This same sensitivity helps her tomake a child's boo-boo feel better and shares

in their teenagers anxieties and fears....

I gave her strength to carry herhusband through his faultsand fashioned her from his rib

to protect his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know thata good husband never hurts his wife,but sometimes tests her strengthsand her resolve to stand beside him

unfalteringly.

I gave her a tear to shed,It's hers exclusively to use whenever itis needed. It's her only weakness....

It's a tear for mankind....
