Grandma's Hands











Grandma's hands are worn, carrying the scars and calluses of 80 plus years on this earth

Grandma's hands are warm and soft, but with a firm grip, reflecting her soft character and inner strength

Grandma's hands are lean but healthy, having experienced abundance and deprivation

Grandma's hands are sturdy and skillful, caring for her family through the years with creativity and precision

Grandma's hands are love, in her own special way, she knows how to reach out and touch you, letting you know she cares

My grandma uses her hands for doctoring, scolding, cooking, cleaning, reading, sewing, praying and most of all for loving us

Oh how precious those hands are to me

I don't know what the future holds, but I know an all powerful, all knowing and all loving pair of hands that are holding my grandma's hands tightly and He will never let her go
