Seen on Facebook - I did not write this...but would have if I had thought it. (I have written something similar - and LONGER - a long time ago. I'll have to dig it up... Anyway. On with the post.)
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and 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.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry joyfully when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member.
They are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run, call or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have vital things to say and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH!

Women truly are amazing beings! But you're right, they do often forget their immense worth. And that is where we come in, to remind them of that one tiny flaw. I know I do all the time.
I haven't "seen" you in so long, I hope you are well. This is, btw, a wonderful post
This is so true!
I tend to see myself as the one with the flaws, and that my one redeeming point is that I can keep a female heart high in spirits.
You made a lot of good points... because so many women forget they have worth at all (myself included, sometimes... and many, many friends of mine.) It's pathetic - especially when people tend to remember the good points better than we do. :)
Wow. I don't even know what to say ... speechless.
@AnamcharaConcepts - Exactly :)So true.
Oh MAN this is true. Or, I should say...oh WOman this is true. Hah. Excuse my awful puns. Great post.
It's hard to reassure yourself of your worth when the actions of others convey the precise opposite. Some women forget, and when they remember the vague, waking-dream semblance of their worth, the woman and the idea are too far forgotten. I hope this inspires others to remind the women in their life of their worth and the impact that their existence has made and will continue to make on the world. <3
TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE COMMENTED SO FAR...
@AnamcharaConcepts - @ShamelesslyRed - @SimplyNita - @one_more_path - @Passionflwr86 - @lovemonkeyy - @SerenaDante - @LiquidityOfSelf - @colorless_clarity - Thank you all. However, in case it wasn't clear at first, I did not write this. So I can't take credit for it. I saw it a Facebook post and thought it was worthy of sharing on here. For all of you - and it looks like all of you - who recommended this post, I am most glad. While I hope to write a post, myself, worthy of embracing the truth about the GOOD and awesome power of men, I will forever do my part to let women know that they are NOT animated sex toys, that their beauty begins in their HEART (and not their body, but the body is still really something wonderous), and that no matter what ANYONE SAYS, God alone is the one who can say what a woman is worth.........AND THAT IS PRICELESS.
My, oh, my...how you women do make me stand in awe and marvel at the beautiful mystery you are. If I were God and was in the middle of creating you, each one of you, I'd be having a blast!!! You are something so special! I pray none of you forget it. I pray that if you have - or will have, or know of any - daughters, that you will tell them, too. Your worth is SET upon the moment you were created. Opinions be damned. We're dealing with TRUTH.
TO EACH OF YOU, INDIVIDUALLY...
@AnamcharaConcepts - It's a great honor, isn't it, to be the men in our lady's lives who can lovingly remind them just how wonderful they are.
@ShamelesslyRed - It HAS been a long while. Things are going nicely in recent months, actually. God has healed my heart from a broken and ended relationship, and I might very well be seeing some bright and tasty fruit (purely a figure of speech) in my near future with a new lady I've met recently. Time and God will tell. Not to mention I've been working deeply on GROWING deeper in my relationship with Jesus. Things are going nicely! :D How are you doing?
@SimplyNita - Pass it on. :) The truth was never meant to be hidden. Just as a lamp does no good when hidden under a bucket. *grins*
@one_more_path - By your comment, I'm guessing you're a man. If so, believe me, you have MUCH MORE to offer than just that. ;)
@Passionflwr86 - It's also understandable. As humans who have messed up so badly, we are internally aware (no matter how we might try to downplay it) of our failures and shortcomings. We actually internalize it to the point that it almost seems to be WHO we really are...and that's so far from the truth. But that's all the more reason why we must encourage each other. If ALL we have are lies, knowing the lies from the truth becomes nearly impossible. We tend to accept only that which we are exposed to. We know the destructive power of lies. So yeah, we must share the truth with each other. :)
@lovemonkeyy - Just pass it on, girl. :) (Which you already did!)
@SerenaDante - Ain't it, though? :D
@LiquidityOfSelf - LOL No worries. I have my own silly jokes. (Like when saying "Amen" after a prayer, I'll chime in with, "And women, too!")
@colorless_clarity - That's my hope, too.
@NaitoOfNarnia - HAHA. Oh man. I'm totally using that.
@LiquidityOfSelf - THIEF!!! lol
I've always loved this. Hubby reminds me often of what I mean to him. Just came over to see how you were doing and saw this. Nice to see we're appreciated for more than making biscuits. LOL!!!
