Why Women Cry

Why are you crying, a young boy asked his Mom?

"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, but that's O.K.".......

Later the little boy asked his father,
"Why does Mom 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 and when God got back to him, he asked "God, why do women cry so easily?"

GOD answered......

"When I made woman,
I decided she had to be special.
I made her shoulders
strong enough to carry
the weight of the world, yet,
made her arms gentle enough to give comfort...

I gave her the inner strength
to endure childbirth
and the rejection
that many times will come
even from her own children.

I gave her a hardness
that allows her
to keep going and take care
of her family and friends,
even when everyone else gives up, 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 badly....

She has the very special power to make a child's boo-boo feel better and
to quell a teenager's anxieties and fears....

I gave her strength to care for her husband, despite faults
and I 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....

For all of this hard work,
I also gave her a tear to shed.
It is hers to use
whenever needed and !
it is her only weakness....
When you see her cry,
tell her how much you love her, and all she does for everyone, and even though
she may still cry, you will have made her heart feel good.

She is special!
Please send this to women you know, and those with mothers,
sisters, and special women in their lives.

But, also send this to men so they will understand about what a
wonderful thing a woman is.

Each day is a mountain that must be climbed; with courage each step
gets easier.Ü
Hello!

"...busy ka? naku mukha nga... tagal na natin di
nagkikita... tagal mo na ako di dinadalaw... alam mo
miss na kita...


o sino yang nagtext sa iyo?... buti pa sa kanya
nakapagreply ka agad... napansin ko ang dami mong
ginagawa talaga... ang dami mo ring things to do
diyan sa planner mo ah!


mapangarap ka talaga noh?... ang dami mong plano.
nakakatuwa naman na malaman yan. kasama ba ako sa
plano mo? ano? naku di ka agad makasagot...
sige okay lang alam ko naman kung ano talaga sagot
mo...


nakita kita nung Friday, aga mo umalis sa office.
alam mo ba, ang akala ko pupuntahan mo ako.
ooppss! hindi pala! TGIF (THANK God its Friday) pala
kayo ng mga friends mo.


umaga ka na nakauwi ah? naghintay ako sa'yo.
pagpasok mo sa kuwarto mo, di mo ako napansin...
haaay! kawawa ka naman siguradong kinabukasan
masakit ang ulo mo, tanghali ka na gigising...


Ang dami mong lakad, naghihintay ako na tayo naman
ang maging magkasama kaya lang sa dami ng schedules
mo sa trabaho at sa labas ng office parang malabo
talaga...


O sige na, balik ka na sa work mo. i might be eating
too much of your time maging dahilan pa ako para
masira ang plano mo sa araw na ito...


gusto ko lang sabihin sa'yo na nandito lang ako
kapag kailangan mo ako...pag hindi ka na busy.
totoo yon! walang biro! ayaw mong maniwala?
Ganon kita kamahal kasi! ayaw mo pa ring maniwala?


Haaay! remember this, kahit singit lang ako lagi sa
buhay mo, kahit biglaan mo lang na natatawag ako
dahil nagulat ka, nasaktan ka, nauntog ka o dahil
part ang pangalan ko nung binabasa mo sa text, you
will be in my heart always...


trial after trial isipin mo kasama mo ako na
lumalakad, hindi man sa buhangin, kasama mo pa rin
ako... sa lahat plano mo , kahit hindi mo ako kasama
i would like you to know that i am the one
perfecting it... para mas maging masaya ka...


minsan tayo naman ang mag-usap ha? minsan ako naman
ang dalawin mo... miss na talaga kita eh... sa akin
hindi ka singit lang..."


JESUS

Paki forward ha para naman malaman ng iba kung gaano
ako kapanabik sa kanila... pero paki tanggal yung
name ng nag-forward sayo...


I KNOW YOU WILL RESPOND!

What if God couldn't take the time to bless us
today because we couldn't take the time to
thank Him yesterday?

What if God decided to stop leading us tomorrow
because we didn't follow Him today?

What if we never saw another flower bloom
because we grumbled when God sent the Rain?

What if God didn't walk with us today because
we failed to recognize it as His day?

What if, God took away the Bible tomorrow
because we would not read it today?

What if, God took away His message because
we failed to listen to the messenger?

THINK ABOUT THIS ONE........

What if, God didn't send His only begotten Son
because He wanted us to be prepared to pay the
price for sin.

What if, the door of the church was closed
because we did not open the door of our heart?

What if, God stopped loving and caring for us
because we failed to love and care for others?

What if, God would not hear us today because
we would not listen to Him?

What if, God answered our prayers the way we
answer His call to service?

What if, God met our needs the way we give Him
our lives???

What if, We failed to send this message on??

THIS IS A SIMPLE TEST....... If you love Jesus,
send this to people you know .....
