Aunt Sarah's Jars

about

Our friend Sarah is 92 and still lives at home (with some help).
During one of our weekly visits, she invited us to take some mayonnaise jars that she just couldn't bring herself to throw away. We took a few mostly to be polite.
Soon after, our neighbor was in the hospital and Carol filled those jars with soup to make his recovery easier.
Now she uses those jars that would've been thrown away to bless anyone going through a rough time.
A wonderful legacy.

lyrics

AUNT SARAH’S JARS
Aunt Sarah’s family came from Dublin.
She was born in ’22.
Talked about the Great Depression
And a neighbor who had helped them through…

With apple sauce and relish jars, full of soups and salad.
At 18 she decided she would make it her tradition.

Aunt Sarah’s jars, they filled the hungry.
Aunt Sarah’s jars, they fed the souls
Of DADS & moms and scores of children
Who remember every one of Aunt Sarah’s jars.

Sometimes they came back washed and empty,
Other times they came back full.
The best of times they got paid forward
To another needy family down the road.

Mayonnaise & pickle jars got loaded with spaghetti
and pressed into the hands of anyone who came to visit.

Aunt Sarah’s jars, they filled the hungry.
Aunt Sarah’s jars, they fed the souls
Of DADS & moms and scores of children
Who remember every one of Aunt Sarah’s jars.

Aunt Sarah passed this past September
The church was full of lives she touched.
And her legacy is moving forward –
Each mourner there took one of Aunt Sarah’s jars.

Now mayonnaise & pickle jars in a hundred different houses
Are pressed into the hands of anyone who comes to visit.

Aunt Sarah’s jars still fill the hungry.
Aunt Sarah’s jars still feed the souls
Of DADS & moms and scores of children
Who remember all the love in Aunt Sarah’s jars.

Aunt Sarah’s jars still fill the hungry.
Aunt Sarah’s jars still feed the souls
Of DADS & moms and scores of children
Who remember all the love in Aunt Sarah’s jars.
We remember every one of Aunt Sarah’s jars.
There was love in every one of Aunt Sarah’s jars.
