A young boy asks his mother why she is crying. She replies that it is because she is a woman. Later, he asks his father the same question about why his mother seems to cry for no reason. His father says all women cry for no reason. As a man, he still wonders why women cry so easily. Finally, he calls God and asks the same question. God explains that women were made specially to carry heavy burdens and comfort others, with inner strength to endure hardships and sensitivity to love and help their families through difficult times. God gave women tears to shed whenever needed as a symbol of their strength and role.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Why women cry
1. WHY WOMEN CRY?<br />Why are you crying?quot;
he asked his mom.<br />quot;
Because I'm a womanquot;
she told him.<br />quot;
I don't understand,quot;
he said.<br />His mom just hugged him and said,<br />quot;
And you never willquot;
..........<br />Later the little boy asked his father,<br />quot;
Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?quot;
<br />quot;
All women cry for no reasonquot;
<br />was all his dad could say........<br />The little boy grew up and became a man, still<br />wondering why women cry...<br />Finally he put in a call to GOD; when GOD got on<br />the phone the man said, quot;
GOD,<br />why do women cry so easily?quot;
<br />GOD said.......When I made women she had to be<br />special. I made her shoulders strong enough to<br />carry the weight of the world; yet, gentle enough<br />to give comfort....<br />I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth<br />and the rejection that many times comes<br />from her children......<br />I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going<br />when everyone else gives up and take care of her<br />family through sickness and fatigue without<br />complaining......<br />I gave her the sensitivity to love her children<br />under any and all circumstances, even when her<br />child has hurt her very badly.......<br />This same sensitivity helps her to make a child's<br />boo-boo feel better and shares in their teenagers<br />anxieties and fears.......<br />I gave her strength to carry her husband through<br />his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect<br />his heart.<br />I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never<br />hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths<br />and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.<br />I gave her a tear to shed, It's hers exclusively to<br />use whenever it is needed.<br />It's a tear for mankind........... Why are you crying?quot;
he asked his mom.<br />quot;
Because I'm a womanquot;
she told him.<br />quot;
I don't understand,quot;
