One Flaw In Women 

By the time the Lord made woman, <o:p></o:p>

He was into his sixth day of working overtime. <o:p></o:p>

An angel appeared and said, <o:p></o:p>

"Why are you spending so much time on this one?" <o:p></o:p>

And the Lord answered, "Have you seen my spec sheet on her? <o:p></o:p>

She has to be completely washable, but not plastic, <o:p></o:p>

have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable <o:p></o:p>

and able to run on diet coke and leftovers, <o:p></o:p>

have a lap that can hold four children at one time, <o:p></o:p>

have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart <o:p></o:p>

-and she will do everything <o:p></o:p>

with only two hands." <o:p></o:p>

The angel was astounded at the requirements. <o:p></o:p>

"Only two hands!? No way! <o:p></o:p>

And that's just on the standard model? <o:p></o:p>

That's too much work for one day. <o:p></o:p>

Wait until tomorrow to finish." <o:p></o:p>

But I won't," the Lord protested. <o:p></o:p>

"I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart. <o:p></o:p>

She already heals herself when she is sick <o:p></o:p>

AND can work 18 hour days." <o:p></o:p>

The angel moved closer and touched the woman. <o:p></o:p>

"But you have made her so soft, Lord." <o:p></o:p>

"She is soft," the Lord agreed, <o:p></o:p>

"but I have also made her tough. <o:p></o:p>

You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish." <o:p></o:p>

"Will she be able to think?", asked the angel. <o:p></o:p>

The Lord replied, <o:p></o:p>

"Not only will she be able to think, <o:p></o:p>

she will be able to reason and negotiate." <o:p></o:p>

The angel then noticed something, <o:p></o:p>

and reaching out, touched the woman's cheek. <o:p></o:p>

"Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model. <o:p></o:p>

I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one." <o:p></o:p>

"That's not a leak," <o:p></o:p>

the Lord corrected, <o:p></o:p>

"that's a tear!" <o:p></o:p>

"What's the tear for?" the angel asked. <o:p></o:p>

The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing her joy, <o:p></o:p>

her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love, <o:p></o:p>

her loneliness, her grief and her pride." <o:p></o:p>

The angel was impressed. <o:p></o:p>

"You are a genius, Lord. <o:p></o:p>

You thought of everything! <o:p></o:p>

Woman is truly amazing." <o:p></o:p>

And she is! <o:p></o:p>

Women have strengths that amaze men. <o:p></o:p>

They bear hardships and they carry burdens, <o:p></o:p>

but they hold happiness, <o:p></o:p>

love and joy. <o:p></o:p>

They smile when they want to scream. <o:p></o:p>

They sing when they want to cry. <o:p></o:p>

They cry when they are happy <o:p></o:p>

and laugh when they are nervous. <o:p></o:p>

They fight for what they believe in. <o:p></o:p>

They stand up to injustice. <o:p></o:p>

They don't take "no" for an answer <o:p></o:p>

when they believe there is a better solution. <o:p></o:p>

They go without so their family can have. <o:p></o:p>

They go to the doctor with a frightened friend. <o:p></o:p>

They love unconditionally. <o:p></o:p>

They cry when their children excel <o:p></o:p>

and cheer when their friends get awards. <o:p></o:p>

They are happy when they hear about <o:p></o:p>

a birth or a wedding. <o:p></o:p>

<pstyle ="text-align: center; font-family: arial;" align="center">Their hearts break when a friend dies. <o:p></o:p>

They grieve at the loss of a family member, <o:p></o:p>

yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. <o:p></o:p>

They know that a hug and a kiss <o:p></o:p>

can heal a broken heart. <o:p></o:p>

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors. <o:p></o:p>

They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you <o:p></o:p>

to show how much they care about you. <o:p></o:p>

The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. <o:p></o:p>

They bring joy, hope and love. <o:p></o:p>

<fontcolor ="maroon" size="1">They have compassion and ideals. <o:p></o:p>

They give moral support to their family and friends. <o:p></o:p>

Women have vital things to say and everything to give. <o:p></o:p>

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, <o:p></o:p>

IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.
