GNARLED HANDS AND TIRED EYES

Gnarled hands and tired eyes the last in a chronicled memory.
Made with years of toil and loving care.
Are what remains of a mothers legacy.
Those hands, once so soft and warm
As they stroked my face to comfort me
With patience taught me how to tie my shoe,
Or cupped a tiny bird for me to see.
With deftness how they sewed my clothes,
Or bandaged a skinned knee.
And yes, with firmness those same hands
Were used when the need was there, to correct an erring way.
Never once did she claim that life had been unfair;
Nor did she ever utter a complaint about the pain she had to bear
In those gnarled hands, or those tired eyes that had lost their sight.
Those gnarled hands and tired eyes continue on as Mother's legacy.
I can see them now as they often were, gently clasped in silent prayer.

"I'm here but I'm not shining! :)
I need more coffee with a chocolate bar this time."

I want to see you shining today, Amy.
So enjoy this coffee, and eat the chocolate!

You can eat it ALL!
It's dark chocolate
(You know - the healthy kind!)

The hands that cared for me will be 94 years old next Monday...and the eyes no longer see...but they usually open when I walk into the room.

GREAT NEWS! Haley’s gastro upset has cleared up, she kept formula down for the day and they SENT HER HOME at 7 pm last night! Praise GOD! She still has to take antibiotics, but she is recovering. We still don’t know about the long term effects and won’t know for some time.

~Prayers For Our Nation~

2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV)

14. if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and
seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and
will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

[MEG33]

Thanking God.

"I have some mountains to climb today..."

Please keep the people of TN in your prayers too. We took a much harder hit than even RUSH is mentioning.

There are several threads up just scroll down and follow the links. Video and photos.

My heart goes out to all including those in Nashville effected by the flooding. I’ve family there, but it is one of many cities effected very badly by the flooding. 52 counties in the State were effected by this storm system. Along with MS and AR by twisters that hit the same day as the flood.

Every one is talking about Nashville, Millington is home to a Navy base BUPERS and their housing was evacuated, damaged, hundreds of people are out of there homes from Millington clear up to Nashville. Yet no MSM coverage of our disastrous flooding in the smaller cities. Or the twisters in MS and AR.

Shelby Co. is the red headed step child of the State.

This is wonderful news, Gail!

Prayers will continue, for precious little Haley!

Good afternoon, Jaycee.
I loooove that Good Morning, Graphic. Thank you.

Seems that I have been on the phone all morning.
First, the president of the PTA,
second, one of my friends from ages ago (hi school) and
third, my brother.
He is applying for a passport and needed some family info.
He lives in Idaho so we don't see him very often.
We had a nice visit.

Have a Beautiful Thursday.
