In the past two years I have been the recipient of so many nice things from my Farmgirl Sisters and I keep finding words to be insufficient to express my thanks.
This is the nicest most generous group of friends ever!
As I was reading a blog earlier, I came across these words and I knew they fit perfectly!
To all of you....too many to name...you are so appreciated and I pray for all of you to be encouraged as much as you have encouraged me!!!
My Sister’s Hands…
My sister’s hands are fair and white; my sister’s hands are dark.
My sister’s hands are touched with age, or by the years unmarked.
And often when I pray for strength to live as He commands. The Father sends me sustenance in my sister’s hands. My sister’s hands are lined and worn with burdens of their own. And yet I know that should I mourn, I need not weep alone. For often as I seek His grace to lighten life’s demands.
The Father sends me solace borne in my sister’s hands.
My sister’s hands: compassion’s tools that teach my own their art
Witnesses of charity within the human heart.
Bearers of the Savior’s love and mercy unto man.
I have felt the Master’s touch in my sister’s hands.
…Lyrics from the song “My Sister’s Hands”by Sally DeFord
Blessings,

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. |

That is so beautiful! I'm so glad you shared it with us all. It's true...I know it's true because we've lived it...my four sisters and me. I can't imagine my life without them in it...
Bless you~

Our Dad is a retired Minister, and that scripture verse you have at the bottom of your post has always been one of my absolute favorites.
It is so encouraging! I haven't read it in a long while, so it was so good to see...

My all time favorite verse!!!
Seems my life has been all about waiting on the Lord-and He comes through every time-perfectly timed,too!
Nice to meet you-Glory.

That is so beautiful! Autumn, I don't have any blood sisters either. But we have the sisterhood here. Those words are so true, I love them. Thanks for sharing.

Autumn~that is so sweet. I have one sister but she is much younger and not into the things I am. Actually, there isn't anyone around here that I know that likes the things I like. I am so blessed to have found my farmgirl sisters. They are truly the best.
