WHO SAID
THAT?!
I love hearing from you, our Her Voice readers. Whether I run into
somebody at the grocery store or downtown it seems like I always get
comments on a particular Her Voice story or column we’ve run. So thank
you for your kind words, your encouragement and your suggestions to
make our magazine even better for you.
I received this from one of our loyal Her Voice readers from Tyndall,
Jolene Vavruska. Thank you Jolene for sharing this with me as well as
your fellow Her Voice followers.
Why Women Cry
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 little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why
women cry. Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone,
he asked, “God, why do women cry so easily?”
God said: “When I made the woman she had to be special. I made
her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet
gentle enough to give comfort.
I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection
that many times comes from her children.
I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when
everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through
sickness and fatigue without complaining.
I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any
and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very
badly.
I gave her strength to carry her husband through his
faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.
I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never
hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her
resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.
And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to
use whenever it is needed.”
“You see my son,” said God, “the beauty of a women 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 –
the place where love resides.”
