A Tribute To All Women

Every year, March 8 marks the International Women's Day. Women have been playing significant roles in this world, be it in communities or at homes.In the modern era, women are no longer confined to just the home but they can go out to work or even become leaders. They prove that they can be as equal as their male counterpart.

Besides living their own lives, women are also important in the constitutions of families in which they have the role of mothers lying on their shoulders. Women enter the world of motherhood when they experience 9 months of pregnancies and later endure hardship when they're in labour. The reason why women have to deal with suffering and pain is because of Eve who was deceived and become a sinner. But women will be saved through chlidbearing--if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety (1 Timothy 2:14b-15). After giving birth, their next responsibilities is to take care of the new lives that they've brought into this world, raising them up and showering them with love and care.

Apart from that, women usually take care of the household in which they are responsible of making their residences a better place of living for the comfort of their respective families. Without their contributions, everywhere in the house would be in a total mess. Therefore, being a woman is not easy as you think. Therefore, a special day is dedicated to women in recognition of their tireless efforts and the significant roles they've played. I sincerely wish all the women around the world a Happy Women's Day!

In conjunction with the International Women's Day, there's one meaningful story which both the genders should read. The following story instils better understanding on women's role which is beneficial to both the males and the females. Enjoy reading! And have a good laugh, ladies!

A man was SICK and TIRED of going to work every day while his wife stayed at home. And he's further jealous of her as she receives a lot of Women's Day wishes and complements.

He wanted her to see what he went through. So he prayed:

"Dear Lord, I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through. So, plase allow her body to switch with me for a day. Amen!"

*poof* God, in His infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish.

The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman while his spouse fitted into his body.


He arose and made breakfast for his mate. After his mate left for work, he awakened the kids

.

He dressed them up with their school uniforms and fed them breakfast.


He even packed their lunch and drove them to school.


Then he came home and sent some clothes for dry cleaning before dropping by the bank to make a deposit.

Afterwards, he went shopping for groceries.

Then he drove home to put away the groceries.

He settled the bills and balanced the cheque book.


He cleaned the cat's litterbox and bathed the dog.


Then, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

And he hurried to make the beds....

...do the laundry...


... vacuum, dust, sweep and mop the kitched floor.


At 2:30pm, he made his way to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them while on the way home. Later, he prepared milk and cookies for tea time...


...and got the kids organised to do their homework.

Then, he set up the ironing board and watched TV while ironing.

At 4:30pm, he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad.

He rolled meatballs and snapped fresh beans for dinner.
At 7:00pm, his mate returned from work and had dinner with him and the children.

After dinner, he cleaned the kitchen and ran the dishwasher.


He then folded laundry, bathed the kids and put them to sleep.

At 11:00pm, he was exhausted. And though his daily chores weren't finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love with his mate, which he managed to get through without any complaints.

The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said:
"Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my wife for being able to stay at home all day. Please, Oh! Oh! Please let us trade back. Amen!"

The Lord, in His infinite wisdom, replied:
"My son, I feel that you have learnt your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were. But you'll have to wait NINE MONTHS though. You got pregnant last night."

Moral of the story
Do not ever underestimate women in any circumstances.
