a small story my sister sent me it is so true

[aggie49]

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 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."

This bit of religious fiction is not a "true" story; it's simply another example of how xtianity attempts to co-opt and assimulate non-religious aspects of life into religious propaganda.  As such, it is most emphatically disingenuous.

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."

I love your story, hun. My Mom used to try so hard not to cry in front of other people. I think I've only seen it 4 or 5 times my entire life and it breaks my heart every time.

Thank you for sharing!
