Angel's Craft
HEART OF A WOMAN
By the time the Lord made woman, He was into his Sixth day of
working overtime.
An Angel appeared and said, "Why are you spending so much
time on this one?"
And the Lord answered and said, "Have you seen the spec
sheet on her? She has to be completely
washable, but not plastic, have 200 movable parts, all replaceable, run on
black coffee and leftovers, have a lap that can hold two children at one time
and that disappears when she stands up, have a kiss that can cure anything from
a scraped knee to a broken heart, and have 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 about the three pairs of eyes.
The Lord nodded.
"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 are 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 and saying that she understands
and 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 on a pound of
hamburger and can get a nine year old to stand in the shower."
The Angel moved closer and 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 and negotiate."
The Angel then noticed something and reached out and 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 the tear for?" the Angel asked.
The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing her joy,
her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her loneliness, her grief, and her
pride."
The Angel was impressed.
"You are a genius, Lord. You
thought of everything, for women are truly amazing."
