I wonder......
Sometimes I wonder about the way God created Woman. And I wonder, when he programmed her, The time he spent on the upgrades. [First daughter, a rather basic program to instil the value of loyalty and selflessness, then wife – more complex with the possibility of a few breakdowns, but it takes a 5 minute download to fix. And then mother – a very complex program which requires the download of patches every so often as this program is prone to breakdowns]. How He decided on her capacities. If she had little meters on her back, just how much could she take before it pushed into the red or blew a fuse? What keeps the gears in her chest moving, even though it often feels that they are rusty and in need of oil because of the pain she feels with every rotation? How did He program her circuit board to love her family to the point of destroying herself? Love each individual so much that she would rather short circuit than choose one over the other? Was it to ensure her preservation that He programmed her to forgive and forget? That He wipes her memory card of yesterday’s pain and fills it with hope for tomorrow? I’m just thankful that He tracks me, and ensures that my down time is minimal. That my software is updated regularly and that my hardware, although depreciated, is kept in working condition.
