Women have strengths that amaze men. They carry children, they carry hardships, 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.

Women wait by the phone for a "safe at home call" from a friend after a snowy drive home.

Women friends keep secrets you told them years ago and never bring them up again.

Women have special qualities about them. They volunteer for good causes. They are pink ladies in hospitals, they bring food to shut ins. They are childcare workers, executives,attorneys, stay-at-home moms, and your neighbors.They wear suits, they wear jeans, and they wear uniforms.

They fight for what they believe in. They stand up for injustice. They are in the front row at PTA meetings. They vote for the person that will do the best job for family issues.

They walk and talk the extra mile to get their children in the right schools and for getting their family the right health care. They write to the editor, their congressmen, and to "the powers that be" for things that make     for a better life. They don't take "no" for and answer when they believe there is a better solution.

They can wipe a tear, cover a cut, and pat you on the back at the same time.

They eat a little so their family can have more. They rush to school to pick up a sick child. They stick a love note in their husband's lunch box.

They do without new shoes so that their children can have them.They go to scout meetings and are chaperones on class trips.

They go to the doctor with a frightened friend. They don't make excuses for defending their family or friends. They give a friend some money in times of trouble.

They love unconditionally. They are loyal,honest, and forgiving. They are smart knowing that knowledge IS power.But they still know how to use their softer side to make a point.

Their world consists of goodness, love and caring. Women want to be the best for their family, their friends, and themselves.

They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards. They get teary eyed when others do great things.

They save their anger for the unjust and the insincere.

They tell people that need to be told to straighten up their act.They lend a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen, and a voice to make suggestions.

They are happy when they hear about a birth or a new marriage. Their hearts break when a friend dies. They have so much sorrow at the loss of a family member,       yet they are strong when they think that there is no strength left.

They can control situations that seem uncontrollable. They can round up energy when they are tired. They can stay up a little       longer to talk to someone that needs a friend. They will rush to be by your side when they are lonely. They will give up their favorite TV show to help with homework or read a bedtime story.

A woman's touch can cure any ailment. They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart. She can make a romantic evening unforgettable. She can bring out the best in her husband, children and friends.

They don't mind standing in the shadows. They are not there to push, but to gently encourage.

They are cheerleaders, teachers, lovers, and important in many peoples' daily lives. They can whisper a kind word, scream a loud cheer, and laugh away a fear. They can mend your broken spirit and give you back your self-esteem.

They can knit a family back together after a break or a loss.

Women come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes. They live in homes, apartments, cabins and trailers. They drive, fly,walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.

    They have hearts that forgive and forget an injustice. They have hearts that remember a kindness. They have hearts that beat with loyalty and love.

The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin. They can cry and laugh at the same time. They can be sad and hopeful at the same time. Women do more than just give birth. They bring joy and hope. They teach us to       dream and set goals. They give compassion and ideals. They climb into a person's life and make everything better again.They give moral support to their family and friends. And all they want back is a hug, a smile, and for you to do the same to people you come in contact with.

Women are leaders, but don't want followers. They want people to grow into the best person they can be. They want to touch you in a way that will make you share your goodness with others. One touch can turn a bad day into a better one. One extra minute of her time will make a child feel special. One more kiss will make her husband feel loved.

Women have a lot to say and a lot to give.

Why not cut and paste this and send it to a very special woman that has touched your life.

I got this today from a friend in Nashville. Thanks Jennie,I love it!!

To Women....From GOD

When I created the heavens and the earth, I spoke them into being. When I created man, I formed him and breathed life into his nostrils. But you, woman, I fashioned after I breathed the breath of life into man because your nostrils are too delicate. I allowed a deep sleep to come over him so I could patiently and perfectly fashion you. Man was put to sleep so that he could not interfere with the creativity.

    From one bone I fashioned you. I chose the bone that protects man's life. I chose the rib, which protects his heart and lungs and supports him, as you are meant to do. Around this one bone I shaped you. I modeled you. I created you perfectly and beautifully. Your characteristics are as the rib, strong yet delicate and fragile. You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man, his heart. His heart is the center of his being; his lungs hold the breath of life. The rib cage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart.

    Support man as the rib cage supports his body. You were not taken from his feet, to be under him, nor were you taken from his head, to be above him. You were taken from his side, to stand beside him and be held close to his side.

    You are my perfect angel. You are my beautiful little girl. You have grown to be a splendid woman of excellence, and my eyes fill when I see the virtues in your heart. Your eyes -- don't change them. Your lips -- how lovely when they part in prayer. Your nose, so perfect in form, your hands, so gentle to touch. I've caressed your face in your deepest sleep; I've held your heart close to mine.

    Of all that lives and breathes, you are the most like me. Adam walked with me in the cool of the day and yet he was lonely. He could not see me or touch me. He could only feel me. So everything I wanted Adam to share and experience with me, I fashioned in you: my strength, my purity, my love, my protection and support. You are special because you are the extension of me.

    Man represents my image -- woman, my emotions. Together, you represent the totality of God.

    So man -- treat woman well. Love her, respect her, for she is fragile. In hurting her, you hurt me. What you do to her, you do to me. In crushing her, you damage your own heart, the heart of your Father, and the heart of her Father.

    Woman, support man. In humility, show him the power of emotion I have given you. In gentle quietness show your strength. In love, show him that you are the rib that protects his inner self
