Women...
There comes a time in every woman's life when she has
to take a close look at herself. Not at her
circumstance, not at what she did, not how unfair life is or not at who made you do it. She has to just
look at herself in all her glory and imperfection. For many women, this is a scary thing because often
times they don't want to know the truth about
themselves. Virtuous women know what I mean. As women, we have a tendency to water one another down.
Maybe it makes us feel good or look better than the
next woman. Or maybe we just don't know how to tell that woman how we admire her. In reality, we really
need to look at ourselves and the pain we project
towards other women. Have you ever admired a woman who has been through
changes in her life? Or have you made up in your mind
that she is just messed up. Before you make this
mistake, take a close look. A woman who has endured
the most unusual life is someone of wisdom. Someone
who has been chosen by God to go through. Think of all the great women in the bible, Mary
Magdalene, Ruth and Naomi, The woman with an issue of
blood, and Esther, to name a few. Mary was a very uneasy woman. But, by the time God was done with her,
she was His closest follower. Esther was unfortunatein marrying an abusive man. By the time God was done
with her, she married one of the wealthiest men in the
land. Have you ever admired the strength of a single mother?
Or have you made up your mind that it's too bad she
had children on her own. A single mother knows no
bounds when it comes to her children. She is strong
and durable. Single mothers are strong, not because
she has to be, but because it comes naturally for her
to protect the extensions of her very being. Her love for her children is like that of fuel to a car.Most mothers keep their tanks full because they
understand that, if it runs low, you could jeopardize the car and have problems in the long run. Other women
only fill it when it is needed. Their cars usually
break down. Have you ever wondered why some women are not
approachable? Or have you made up your mind that she
is just mean. A quiet woman is a smart woman. She is valuable. She doesn't go off half-cocked and
she won't be the one to argue with you over nothing.
She just may even let you go on "setting her straight"and politely back out without a fight. She doesn't let
many in her world. After all, she has probably been
through the fire and had to rebuild. So why let just
anyone in? This is usually the woman that only has "small talk" and knows her place, which is away from
all the unnecessary things in life. Have you ever wondered why that woman is so loud?Well, hey she has alot to say. These are usually our
younger women who have to learn refrain. They are eager and unsettled. They do before they think, and
they do not think before they talk. They just go. Have you ever wondered about that woman who appears to
have everything, yet is still very unhappy? Well, she
doesn't have everything. She doesn't have personal
validation. This is something that cannot be bought.This is something developed over many mistakes and
challenges that have taught lessons of the unbearable.
Women are so quick to beat the next one down in
steadof trying to hold her up. Before you wonder, "What's
up with her?" ask yourself, "What's up with me?" Why
do I beat down another woman to build myself up? That
woman could be my mother, sister, aunt, in-law,step-mother, niece, grandmother, great-grandmother,neighbor, friend, co-worker, etc. That woman could just be me. Women are the carrier of life, not the channel of
death. Let's build and encourage each other as did
Ruth and Naomi. Pass this to all the women in your life. Encourage and Love, Forgive and Forget, and trust that
the woman that receives this will be touched in some
way.

Peace and Love To You All
