Woman's One Flaw

I found this on another board I visit. I hope it isn't posted already!

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, "Have you seen my spec sheet on her? She has
to be completely washable, but not plastic, have over 200 movable parts,
all replaceable and able to run on diet coke and leftovers,
have a lap that can hold four children at one time, have a kiss that
can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart-and she will
do everything with only two hands."

The angel was astounded at the requirements. "Only two hands!?
No way! And that's just on the standard model? That's too much work
for one day. Wait until tomorrow to finish."

But I won'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 work 18 hour days."

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 reaching out, touched the
woman's cheek. "Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model.
I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one."

"That's not a leak," the Lord corrected, "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 love, her loneliness, her
grief and her pride."

The angel was impressed. "You are a genius, Lord. You thought of
everything! Woman is truly amazing." And she is! Women have strengths
that amaze men. They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they
hold happiness, love and joy. They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are happy and
laugh when they are nervous. They fight for what they believe in.

They stand up to injustice. They don't take "no" for an answer
When they believe there is a better solution. They go without so their
family can have. They go to the doctor with a frightened friend..

They love unconditionally. They cry when their children excel and
cheer when their friends get awards. They are happy when they hear
about a birth or a wedding. Their hearts break when a friend dies.

They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when
they think there is no strength left. They know that a hug and a
kiss can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors. They'll drive, fly, walk,
run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you The heart
of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. They bring joy, hope
and love.

They have compassion and ideals. They give moral support to
their family and friends.. Women have vital things to say and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET
THEIR WORTH.

PLEASE pass this along to all your women friends and
relatives to remind them just how amazing they are.

Why just pass it on to women? Men need to be reminded of the wonderful blessing God has given as well.
