A mama's desire is
sometimes a painful thing,
if what
she desires her
prayers don't bring.
A mama can get on
her knees night and day,
offering up
her heart's
desire in a prayerful way.
She can tell God her
every need and her heart's desire,
sometimes she'll
never see it transpire.
But she'll never quit
never ever give up you see,
because she believes
in her God wholeheartedly.
Believes in the
promises in His Holy Word,
even though
her heart's
desire hasn't yet occurred.
But then sometimes
that mama's prayer is fulfilled,
while she is able to
lift God in praises still.
Sometimes that mama's
allowed to see;
as her child
accepts Jesus and
the salvation He offers for free.
Oh the joy and
exaltation she must feel,
the day she
knows her
child accepted Jesus for real.
She soars higher than
the eagle can fly,
because God
heard and
answered her heartfelt cry.
A mama's desire
her heartfelt plea,
is that her
children abide
with Jesus throughout eternity!

Why Women Cry...
A little boy asked his mother,
"Why are you
crying?"
"Because I'm a woman," she told him.
"I don't
understand," he said.
His Mom just hugged him and said,
"And you never will."
Later the little boy asked his father,
"Why does mother
seem to cry for
no reason?
"All women cry for no reason,"
was all his dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became
a man, still wondering why women cry.
Finally he put in a call to God.
When God got on the phone, he asked,
"God, why do women
cry so easily?"
God said:
"When I made the woman she had
to be special.
I made her shoulders strong enough to
carry the weight
of the world,yet gentle enough to
give comfort.
I gave her an inner strength to
endure childbirth and the
rejection that many times comes
from her children.
I gave her a hardness that allows
her to keep going when everyone else
gives up, and take care of her family
through sickness and
fatigue without
complaining.
I gave her the sensitivity to love her
children under any and all circumstances,
even when her child has hurt her very badly
I gave her strength to carry her husband
through his
faults and fashioned her from
his rib to protect his heart
I gave her wisdom to know that a good
husband never hurts
his wife,
but sometimes tests her strengths and
her resolve to stand beside him
unfalteringly.
And finally, I gave her a tear to shed.
This is hers exclusively to use
whenever it is needed."
"You see my son," said God,
"the beauty of a woman is not in the
clothes she wears, the figure that she
carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be
seen in her eyes, because
that is the
doorway to her heart -
the place where love resides."
