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 mum just hugged him and
said, "And you never will"...
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 on the phone, the man said, "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, the beauty of a woman 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."
Every Woman is Beautiful!

Hi Toia! I love the name of your blog and scripture verse. God has taught me so much in this area over the last several years. Yes, every woman is beautiful. Handmade by a wonderful God.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. It's nice to meet you!
Yes and amen!
Thanks for stopping by my blog... our daughter used to live in Summerville! We loved visiting her and went fairly often.
It takes one to know one! I hope that you see her when you look in the mirror everyday because I see her everytime I click on your blog!
I hope that there is a special guy in your life that knows what a treasure he has, if not when he does come along; he will know!
Love you!
This is a great reminder of who we women are in Christ. I am doing Beth Moore's new study "Esther - It's tough being a woman" and it is unbelievably awesome!
Thanks for visiting my blog today. Come back anytime. My desire is to be an instrument for God's glory.
In Him,
Beth
I honestly, am so thankful that God chose me to be a woman!
Lovingly,
Yolanda
