God Created them Male and FEMALE

FEMALE
Mothers: ...and female he created them

(all dressed in party dresses)
MOM -- (enters with purse and a hair brush, begins crossing, while shouting back to exit) Are you girls ready to go?
MEL -- (from offstage, sings) Coming.
TIF -- (enters in a huff, carrying hair ribbon) Mom, do you ever wish you were born a boy instead of a girl? (turns, faces audience with back to Mom)
MOM -- (brushing Tif's hair into ponytail) Not since I became a Christian. Why?
TIF -- Oh, it's just all this GIRL stuff, you know? It took me forever to get my tights on, and then I discovered a big hole in them. So, I had to dig through my drawers for some new tights. Then, I couldn't find the hair ribbon that went with this dress. And I thought, boys don't even have to wear tights or hair ribbons. I wish I could be a boy.
MOM -- Well, I, for one, would be very disappointed if your were suddenly to become a boy. I think your Dad would be too.
TIF -- Why?
MOM -- Well, for one thing, boys your age are not as cuddly as girls. Girls stay cuddly forever. Besides girls are prettier. Daddy says having girls around the house is like having a bouquet of flowers in every room.
MEL -- (enters in huff, carrying hair ribbon) Mom, do you ever wish you were born a boy instead of a girl?
TIF -- (laughs)
MOM -- Funny you should ask.
MEL -- What's so funny?
TIF -- I just asked the same question.
MEL -- Well, what did you say?
MOM -- I said "not since I became a Christian."
MEL -- What happened when you became a Christian?
MOM -- I realized that girls are made in the image of God, the same as boys. (finished with Tif's ponytail)
MEL -- Oh, that. (turns, faces audience with back to Mom)
MOM -- (brushing Mel's hair into a ponytail) Did you ever wonder why God made two sexes instead of one? I mean, he could have created us all one sex. But he chose to create TWO sexes.
TIF -- Why?
MEL -- Yeah, now that you think of it, why are there TWO sexes instead of one?
MOM -- I think the answer is in Genesis 1:27.
MEL -- That was my very first memory verse.
TIF -- Mine too.
MOM -- I had you both memorize that verse first because it tells you who you are and what you are.
TIF -- Genesis 1:27. "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him... "
MEL and TIF -- "...male and female he created them."
MEL -- But I still don't understand why you'd rather be a female.
MOM -- Because I think we got the better half of the split.
MEL and TIF -- What split?
MOM -- I think God's image is too big for a single human being. So, he split his image into two images, male and female. I think he emphasized his power and provision in the males and I think he emphasized his softness and tenderness in the females. And I think the females got the better half of the split.
MEL -- (smiles) What do you mean?
MOM -- I mean, I think God emphasized his arms and legs in men, so they could fight the battles, plow the ground for food, and protect their families, things like that. But I think that God emphasized his loving heart and his gentle hands in women, so they would love to pat and pet their babies, care for the sick, and brush their daughter's hair. (kiss)
TIF -- You think so?
MOM -- I don't expect that you'll fully understand God's gentle hands and loving heart until you become a mother. (finishes Mel's hair) I feel sorry for men, because they will never fully experience the heart and hands of God, like a mother can. (hugs both)
MEL -- I changed my mind. I'm glad I'm a girl.
TIF -- Me too. (exiting opposite, holding out and admiring own hands) I think I've got the hands and the heart for it.
MEL -- (follows) I think I'll go tell Daddy how he got the short end of the split.
MOM -- (follows) Let's keep that our little secret, just between us females.

Yes, for me too there was a time I hated that I was a girl. Especially during the worse of the abuses I suffered at the hands of those who should have been protecting me. But as I came to the Lord and surrendered to him my life, not just when I felt like it, but for real, then I started to really embrace my femininity in a whole new way. Today I am glad I am a woman, except for the periods and emotional constipation's lol, and I am glad I am married to my wonderful husband who is way too good for me. I love him with all my heart and thank God that he brought him into my life.
