Calloused Hands

He was a carpenter by trade, a hard working man.The sun was hot the air was dusty , water wasn't cold as ice to drown the unquenchable thirst. I imagine Jesus had many callouses on His hands. His hands hugged the faces of his earthly mother and father, his hands healed the blind man. I imagine He may have even had blisters a time or two. I look at my hands and see them rough and looking old , but these hands, have done some work even hammered a nail a few times. His hands bled,for those that shed innocent blood. Calloused hands are from hard working hands, the hands that have loved, the hands that dried the tears, or held a loved one close.Calloused hands have seen some days, the stories they could tell could be a book. Calloused hands are strong hands ,but loving hands.
