HOW TRUE THIS IS

[Guest guest]

By the time the Lord made mothers, he was into his sixth day of working

overtime. An angel appeared & said, " Why are you spending so much time

on

this one? "

The Lord answered & said, 'Have you seen the spec sheet on her? She has

to be

completely washable, but not plastic; have 200 moveable parts,

all replaceable; run on black coffee & leftovers; have a lap that can

hold three children at one time & that disappears when she stands up;

have a

kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart; & six

pairs of hands.

The angel was astounded at the requirements for this one. " Six pairs

of hands! No way! " said the angel.

The Lord replied, " Oh, it's not the hands that are the problem, it's

the three pairs of eyes that mothers must have. "

" And that's just on the standard model? " the angel asked.

The Lord nodded in agreement, " Yep, one pair of eyes are to see

through the closed door as she asks her children what they are doing,

even

though she already knows. Another pair in the back of her head is to see

what

she needs to know even though no one thinks she can and the third pair

are

here in the front of her head. They are for looking at an errant child &

saying that she understands & loves him or her without even saying a

single

word. "

The angel tried to stop the Lord, This is too much work for one

day. Wait until tomorrow to finish. "

" But I can'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 feed a family of six on a pound of hamburger

AND can

get a nine year old to stand in the shower. "

The angel moved closer & touched the woman. " But you have made her so

soft,

Lord. "

" She is 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 & negotiate. "

The angel then noticed something & reached out & touched the woman's

cheek.

" Oops, it looks like you have a leak with this model. I told you that

you

were trying to put too much into this one. "

" That's not a leak, " the Lord objected. " That'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

disappointment, her pain, her loneliness, her grief & her pride. "

The angel was impressed. " You are a genius, Lord. You thought of

everything.

WOMEN are truly amazing. "

Pass this on to all the amazing women that you know. I passed it on to

an

amazing woman ? that would be YOU!!!!! I'm also passing it on to men who

KNOW

amazing women: it's your job to tell them so!
