When God Made Mums
By the time the Lord made mothers, 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 three 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.
The Lord nodded in agreement, *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 of six 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
disappointment, her pain, her loneliness, her grief,
and her pride.*
The Angel was impressed. *You are a genius, Lord.
You thought of everything for WOMEN and are truly amazing!
I hope that this inspired you.
Please pass this to all amazing women that you know
