"The Lord God said: 'It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a suitable partner for him.'... So the Lord God cast a deep sleep on the man, and while he was asleep, the Lord took out one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. The Lord God then built up into a woman the rib He had taken from the man. When He brought her to the man, the man said: 'This one, at last, is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one shall be called "woman," for out of 'her man' this one has been taken. That is why a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, and the two of them become one body." (Genesis 2:18, 21-24)
Many years ago in my ongoing research I discovered another interesting and fascinating verse by an unknown author. Here is the special verse:
"Woman was made from the rib of man. She was not created from his head - to top him nor from his feet - to be stepped upon. She was made from his side - to be equal to him...from beneath his arm...to be protected by him...near his heart...TO BE LOVED BY HIM." (Author unknown)
In addition to the preceding verse, I received this following article in an email from some very good friends. This is worth sharing with all of you especially the men who need to form a better attitude and a positive respect for all women.
"By the time the Lord made woman, He was into His sixth day of working overtime. An angel appeared and said, 'Why are you spending so much time on this one?' And the Lord answered, 'Have you seen my spec sheet on her? She has to be completely washable, but not plastic, have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable and able to run on diet Coke and leftovers, have a lap that can hold four children at one time, have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart--and she will do everything with only two hands.'
"The angel was astounded at the requirements. 'Only two hands!? No way! And that's just on the standard model? That's too much work for one day. Wait until tomorrow to finish.' But I won't, 'the Lord protested. 'I am close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart. She already heals herself when she is sick and can work 18-hour days.' The angel moved closer and touched the woman. 'But you have made her so soft, Lord.' 'She is soft,' the Lord agreed. 'But I have also made her tough. You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish.'
"Will she be able to think?' asked the angel. The Lord replied, 'Not only will she be able to think, she will be able to reason and negotiate.' The angel then noticed something, and reaching out, touched the woman's cheek. 'Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model. I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one.' 'That's not a leak,' the Lord corrected. 'That's a tear!' 'What's the tear for?' the angel asked. The Lord said, 'The tear is her way of expressing joy, sorrow, pain, disappointment, love, loneliness, grief, and pride.'
"The angel was impressed. ' You are a genius, Lord. You thought of everything! Woman is truly amazing.' AND SHE IS! Women have strengths that amaze men. They bear hardships and 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 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, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. They know that a hug and a kiss can help to heal a broken heart.'
"Women come in all sizes, colors, and shapes. They'll drive, fly, walk, run or email you to show how much they care about you. The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning, bringing joy and hope, compassion and ideals, and giving moral support to their family and friends. Women have vital things to say and everything to give. However, if there's one flaw in women, it is that they tend to forget their own worth. Pass this along to your woman friends to remind them HOW AMAZING THEY ARE! (Original source unknown)"
