“Why Women Cry”

A little boy 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,'

For all the beautiful women I know,
I hope that it brings a smile to you.

Two horses

Two Horses  

There is a place in the countryside with a field that has two horses in it.


From a distance, each horse looks like any other horse. But if you stop your car, or are walking by, you will notice something quite amazing....

Looking into the eyes of one horse will disclose that he is blind. His owner has chosen not to have him put down, but has made a good home for him.


This alone is amazing.


If you stand nearby and listen, you will hear the sound of a bell.
Looking around for the source of the sound, you will see that it comes from the smaller horse in the field.

Attached to the horse's halter is a small bell. 
It lets the blind friend know where the other horse is, so he can follow.


As you stand and watch these two friends,
You'll see that the horse with the bell is always checking on the blind horse,
And that the blind horse will listen for the bell and then slowly walk
To where the other horse is,
Trusting that he will not be led astray.

When the horse with the bell returns
To the shelter of the barn each evening,
It stops occasionally and looks back,
Making sure that the blind friend isn't too far behind to hear the bell.


Like the owners of these two horses,
God does not throw us away just because we are not perfect
Or because we have problems or challenges.

He watches over us and even brings others into our lives
To help us when we are in need..

Sometimes we are the blind horse
Being guided by the little ringing bell of those who God places in our lives.

Other times we are the guide horse, helping others to find their way....

Good friends are like that... You may not always see them, but you know they are always there.

Please listen for my bell and I'll listen for yours.
And remember... 
Be kinder than necessary- 
Everyone you meet is fighting
Some kind of battle. 

 

 
Live simply,
Love generously,
Care deeply,
Speak kindly...... 

Leave the rest to God
