A beautiful text for you, all women—let us not forget what we are…
God and Woman When God created woman, he was already on his sixth day of hard labor… making, unmaking, and remaking his work over and over.
An angel appeared and asked him:
Why are you taking so long? What is so special about this creature? It only took one day for the man…
And the Lord answered:
Did you see my project for her? I'll explain it to you:
It must be completely malleable,
but must not be subjugated,
to make more sense than it needs to be capable of functioning under any regime,
to have a lap that can accommodate four children at the same time,
to have a kiss that can heal both a scraped knee and a broken heart,
And she will do it all with just two hands.
The angel marveled at the qualities:
Only two hands… Impossible! And this one is just the first model? That’s too much work for one day! Wait until tomorrow to finish it.
I will not do it, the Lord protested. I am so close to completing this creation that I am putting my whole heart into it:
She takes care of herself when she is sick.
And she can work 18 hours a day.
The angel came closer and touched the woman.
She is delicate, God replied,
But I made it robust too,
You have no idea what she is capable of enduring or achieving.
Will she be able to think? the angel asked.
God replied: Not only will she be capable of thinking
but also to discuss and to execute.
The angel then noticed something and, reaching out, touched the woman’s cheek…
Lord, it seems this creature has a leak…
I had told you that I was looking to put a lot of things into it, and there is no leak: it is a tear, the Lord corrected.
What are tears for? the angel asked.
And God said:
Tears are her way of expressing her joy,
her punishment,
her disillusionment,
his/her love,
his solitude,
her suffering,
and his pride.
All of this greatly impressed the angel:
You are a genius, Lord, you have thought of everything. Woman is truly wonderful!
Women …
Women have energies that amaze men.
They face difficulties, resolve serious problems, yet they have happiness, love, and joy. They smile when they would rather scream, they sing when they would rather cry, they cry when they are happy, and they laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They rebel against injustice.
They do not accept a "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.
They deprive themselves to keep the family afloat.
They are going to the doctor with a timid friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children are successful and they rejoice in their friends' good fortune.
They are happy when they hear about a baptism or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They are grieving the loss of a loved one.
Perhaps they are strong when they think they no longer have any energy.
They know that a kiss and a hug can help heal a broken heart.
And yet…
There is no doubt that women have a flaw: they forget how valuable they are.
Let us remember what wonderful creatures they are, even if we do not always understand them…
Let's also remind them of it!
