Women Know This

This life you've been handed is not fair;
women know this but live it we must,
for it is just a test we should bear
in this classroom we call planet earth.
Each unique lesson is taught with care,
changing weaknesses to strengths for God,
who never said this life would be fair.
Eden and perfection changed with Eve,
furthered by man wanting a flesh king,
voiding God's Words for man's evil weave:
thousands of unjust laws for His Ten
knit poverty to they who believe.
This life has created greed and hate:
it goes all the way back to Adam's Eve.
Build up, women, up to God's standard
and our next life will be more than fair.
Eve ate woman's dais for our fall,
and we've all come up short of God's plan:
an helpmate to Adam's lonely call,
virtuous, quiet at her duty,
no need for some extravagant ball
or costly clothes and dazzling jewels.
We must go back, back before the fall.
This life you've been handed is not fair;
we all know this but live it we must,
for it is just a test we should bear
in this classroom we call planet earth.
Each unique lesson is taught with care,
changing weaknesses to strengths for God,
who never said this life would be fair.
Build up, women, up to God's standard
and our next life will be more than fair.

Hi Bonnie
Adam could have laid the law down - I dont blame Eve as much as I blame Adam - Bless God Bonnie - --------------------------------- Joe - Hugs n' Luv ----------------------------------------------- peace

Well, God did lay down the law and Adam wasn't around when Eve "was deceived." Remember, Adam was not deceived; he was seduced to eat the forbidden fruit by Eve. Still, Adam should have been stronger than her seduction. Amen? Luv ya!

Hi Bonnie - hugs
Anyone can be seduced Bonnie - especiually someone that loved like Adam loved - where was Adam? - In the land of Nod - yes Adam should have been stronger than her seduction - which would have been nigh to impossible - luv ya - Joe
