Now I look down and see the wonderful gifts only God could've given me! No, they aren't showing signs of age, but the signs of a full and blessed life. Rarely polished because the dishpan & washing machine just don't care -a gift from God to be able to be home with my family. They usually have a bit of something left over from weeding my gardens -He grants me desire for beauty in nature. Often I can find a spot of paint or two from refinishing furniture -a persuit that only God could've spurred. My cuticles are mostly dry from the amount of washing/wiping/band-aiding my kiddos -little gifts from Heaven. And lastly, my long nail beds no longer showcase the strong and lengthy nails I had just two years ago. They now hold these chopped back and barely ever filed blunt unpolished stumps supported by callouses from guitar playing...the gift from God that I can give back to Him! So, like you, Ruthann, I look down and now see hands full of amazing blessings that only God could've provided! Thank you for the beauty-full perspective!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749090656837185759.post-28545723605485614362012-07-11T17:37:34.676-04:002012-07-11T17:37:34.676-04:00Love you!Love you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749090656837185759.post-83732173067353387942012-07-03T18:38:20.392-04:002012-07-03T18:38:20.392-04:00CRYING!!!!
