These Weary Hands

The hands that helped raise me.

These Weary Hands

These Weary Old Hands,

They’ve Been through so much.

These Weary Old Hands,

They’ve worked very hard

Just to be where they are at

Right at this very Moment in time.

Through the birth of 2 Children,

Through the raising of these 2 children

Who are now Amazing Adults,

Through all the many losses,

Through comforting others

In their time of need,

These hands have worked so hard.

These weary old hands

Have made it through

These past 93 years.

These weary old hands

Are not only a testament

To all the many hours

Of cleaning and chores,

But these beautiful hands

Show that though life is hard,

Life is worth any struggle

That a person may encounter

At any point in time.

These weary old hands

Are the hands of a fighter.

These weary old hands

Are the hands of an angel

Who was sent from above

To bless the lives

Of all those that she has encountered.

These hands have worked hard

So that others may not have to.

These hands have worked so hard

To make life easier for her family.

These beautiful, weary old hands

Have held the hearts of many,

Showing love and showing compassion,

Showing the same Mercy

That God shows us.

These Beautiful, Weary Hands

Have helped many

Through times of trouble

And through times of Need.

These weary old hands,

Run Down, yet Elegant,

Show that no matter how long

A person lives before passing on,

They should do their best

To succeed in life,

Even if it means

Having to do a lot of work.

The more work a person does

Throughout their lifetime,

The better results they have

Both later in life,

As well as better lives

For those after them.

These hands are alluring,

They tell the story

Of a life well spent.

These hands,

Though weary and wore out,

Show how much joy

A person can receive in life,

Even when life seems to be

Long and Troublesome.

These hands,

They are the hands

Of a Loving Grandma.

A Grandma who has been there

For both of her kids,

Who has been there

For all her Grandkids.

A Grandma who is now

Having the favor returned,

And being cared for

By her Kids and her Grandkids

Who all love her so much.


Grandma, thank you for all that you've done for everybody. Not only have you raised two kids, but you've also helped to raise four grandchildren and even watched as two of those grandchildren got married. You are a fighter, you are an inspiration, and you are an amazing Christian influence. You are loved by so many, and you have touched everybody's lives that you have come in contact with. Everyone loves you so much, and we want what is best for you in every situation.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
