The Work of our Hands
My hands –
reach
carry
embrace
fix
clean
cook
drive
push
create
paint
hug
pick up
feed
write
color
bless.
My hands –
cling to the One
who first reached out to me
declaring all of creation
good and holy,
a work of art.

Take some time today to look at your hands. See the work they do. Feel the shape and contours of your hands. Hold them open. Give thanks. And then lift them up to the One who is holding you.
