Women are all the same. How? A woman has strengths that amaze man. She can handle trouble & carry heavy burdens. She holds happiness, love and opinions. She smiles when feeling like screaming, sings when she feels like crying, cries when she is happy and laughs when she is afraid.
She fights for what she believes in, stands up against injustice, and doesn’t take “no” for an answer when she can see a better solution.
She gives herself so her family can thrive, and takes her friend to the doctor if she is afraid.
Her love is unconditional!
She cries when her kids are victorious.
She is happy when her friends do well.
She is glad when she hears of a birth or a wedding.
Her heart is broken when a next of kin or friend dies. But she finds the strength to get on with life.
She knows that a kiss & a hug can heal a broken heart.
I received what is above, and it is all truth. But is all the truth? Of course NOT!
A woman is a lot more than that.
If we follow women in the Holy Book, Old and New Testament, one (a guy of course) stands amazed in front of that amazing creature. She tempted Adam, caused war, tempted Israelites, But She also was a mother, prophet, queen seeking wisdom, savior (many times), first believer from Gentiles, strong believer, faithful, leader, judge, gave birth to Christ, financially supported Christ, didn't leave Christ at the Cross (while only one man remained), woke up early before Sabbath darkness is resolved to the Holy Grave to serve Christ's body, she was the first to know about Christ Resurrection & first announcer & the first who met Resurrected Christ, served with disciples, martyred, lived pure aesthetic life, encouraged her sons to martyr for the sake of the faith. Put that next to how passionate, emotional and tender she is!! Glorified is our Lord Jesus Christ in His creation!
I received the below nice imaginary story: When God created woman, he was working late on the 6th day. An angel came by and said: “Why spend so much time on that one?” And the Lord answered:
+ “Have you seen all specifications I have to meet to shape her? She must be washable, but not made of plastic, have more than 200 moving parts which all must be replaceable & she must function on all kinds of food, she must be able to embrace several kids at the same time, give a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart and she must do all this with only two hands”
- “Just two hands… impossible! And this is the standard model?! Too much work for one day.. wait until tomorrow & then complete her…”
+ “I won’t, I am so close to complete this creation, which will be the favourite of my heart. She cures herself when sick & she can work 18 hrs a day!”
The angel came nearer and touched the woman.
- “But you have made her so soft, Lord!”
+ “She is soft, but I have also made her strong. You can’t imagine what she can endure and overcome.”
- “Can she think?”
+ “Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate.”
The angel touched the woman’s cheeks
- “Lord, it seems this creation is leaking! You have put too many burdens on her.”
+ “She is not leaking… it is a tear”
- “What is it for?”
+ “Tears are her way of expressing grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering & her pride.”
This made a big impression on the angel.
- “Lord, you are genius! You thought of everything! The woman is indeed marvelous!”
Indeed she is!
