I saw this on a Google+ post. The picture that went with it was inappropriate sent a conflicting message, so I changed the picture and used the words from “Anonymous”. These are so true, informative for men and encouraging for women.
A little boy asked his mother, “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.”
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 boy still didn’t get an answer, so he only had his old grandfather to ask. The little boy asked his grandfather, “Why do women cry so easily?”
The grandfather said, “When God made women, she had to be special.
- He made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world,
- Yet gentle enough to give comfort.
- God gave her an inner strength to bear under child birth
- And the rejection that many times comes from her children.
- God gave her a hardiness that allows her to keep going
- When everyone else give up,
- And take care of her family through sickness and fatigue
- Without complaining.
- God gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances,
- Even when her child has hurt her very badly.
- God gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults
- And fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.
- God gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife,
- But sometimes tests her strength and inner resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.
- And finally, God gave her a tear to shed.
- This is hers exclusively
- To use whenever it is needed.
“You see, my son, the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
“The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart.”
(Tears are a God-given release for the stress and challenges of a woman as listed above.)
