"Women"
I've written more about the female gender than anything else in my life...mostly because I'm in love with "WOMEN". Yes, I know the politically correct thing to say is that I'm in love with A (1) woman...and someday I will. I have many female friends (not dating friends...just close) that are soooooooo dear to me, leaving some not understanding how that can be. You see...women are the greatest gift God gave to man. They are sensitive, caring, delicate, fascinating creatures. I often have wondered why God has blessed us guys so much this way!! Quite often I take a lot of flack because I care for so many and haven't chosen just one to devote all my attention to...so please allow me to explain why I love women so much...lol
* Only a woman can pour hot wax on her upper thighs...attach a cloth adhesive...and tear off the hair without a whimper, then turn around and scream when she sees a 'lil mouse scurry across the room...LOL
* Only a woman will completely clean her house 3 hours before she drives herself to the hospital and delivers her children.
* Only a woman can see past the rough exterior and look deep into a man's soul and still love him with all his faults.
* Only a woman can work all day at a secular job, come home and do all the "housework", prepare a hot meal, then call her doofus husband from the recliner to eat before he waddles off to bed leaving her to clean up all the mess.
Ladies, look into the mirror and see what I have always seen. the one single thing that keeps most families together...the glue, the thread, the duct tape that binds a family. I know many single women don't see that in themselves right now...but it won't always be that way. Someday you WILL be all these things...and more...in a marriage.
I know many of you have gone through difficult times. Be careful that you don't become bitter or discouraged. God is a God of deliverence...a God of answered prayers. Whatever your situation, God has an answer...a response...a reply...an acknowlegement. He knows your heart and more than anything He wants a healing for you. Let Him heal your heart and dry your tears. You are wonderful...you are "Woman"...a thrilling gift to me and my fellow men!!!
"Time"
Time is slipping by so quickly...for some more quickly than others. All too often we hear of someone we know that is taken by death...often tragically and far too young. It's something that happens world wide every day...but we are made aware of it when it hits close to home.
Recently several that I knew from 4 months to 55 years to 71 years died in unusual ways. The 4 month old died suddenly...apparently from SIDS. The mid 50s hunter was found by his beloved tree stand after an artery closed up leaving him helpless and alone in the woods he so adored. The 71 year old farmer died by assassins bullets hired by his younger wife. 3 to his chest and 3 to his head...leaving him lying face down in his chicken house for other family members to find.
Time has stood still for these 3 and only God himself knows the fate of the 2 adults. Tell me...if time stood still for you @ this moment where would you spend eternity? It's a question often asked but seldom acknowledged because we are young, vibrant, healthy people that expect to always draw another breath.
Think and don't delay. Time is short and eternity for YOU may be close at hand.
Tick...tock...tick...tock...tick...tock.
