As I was finishing up some dishes before going to work, and my mom was in the other room holding Eva, I thought about all of the help I receive and continue to receive from so many hands. If you think about it, hands are incredibly powerful tools and help us do so much. I rely on my hands to communicate, pray, create, express, move, nourish, and care for…the list goes on…It’s pretty mind blowing when you think about it.
I am deeply grateful for the hands in my life. The hands that take care of my daughter are most precious. Hands that hold, feed, turn pages, play, clean, and keep her safe. It truly is a gift and privilege to have trusting hands in our life.
Take a moment to look at your hands. Notice the lines, freckles, marks, scars, wrinkles, and think about all the work that they have done for you (and countless others) leading up to now. Honor your hands and take care of them. Our hands play a significant role in connecting our souls and hearts to those around us. Bless your hands and all the good that comes from them.
