Happy Saturday! I know I don’t normally write on the weekends but this was stirring in my heart as I lay awake at 4 a.m. this morning. Be blessed my sweet friends. Our journey is not over, our journey is today.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Have you ever considered all the things your hands do in a day? Hands stir the pot of oatmeal. Hands knead bread dough. Hands soothe a crying child. Hands embrace a spouse. Hands touch fabric\u00a0as each item enters the washing machine. Hands pick up the phone and flip the pages of the well-worn Bible. Hands press the white keys of a piano. Up and down motion as hands knit a scarf. Hands clean the food off the table and hands press a bandage on a toddler wound.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Every day hands, our hands give and take. Hands wipe the tear from our cheek. Hands write a note to a friend. Hands wave good-bye. And hands blow a kiss.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hands. Our hands are an extension of the heart.<\/strong> Hands say words the heart can never speak through our lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n Hands heal. Hands love. Our hands a journey from the soul. How we use our hands. How we guide them each day is a reflection, a telling of the heart’s deepest places.\u00a0<\/p>\n What are your hands saying? What messages are coming up from your heart?\u00a0<\/p>\n What are we telling our children, spouses and friends even when we are not speaking a word?\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Proverbs 3:3\u00a0Never let loyalty and kindness leave you!\u00a0<\/span>Tie them around your neck as a reminder.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/em>Write them deep within your heart.<\/em> NLT<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Psalm 24:3-5\u00a0Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord<\/span>?\u00a0<\/span>And who shall stand in his holy place?\u00a0<\/span><\/span>He who has clean hands and a pure heart,\u00a0<\/span>who does not lift up his soul to what is false\u00a0<\/span><\/span>and does not swear deceitfully.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>He will receive blessing from the Lord\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/em>and righteousness from the God of his salvation.<\/em> ESV<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Proverbs 4:23\u00a0Guard your heart above all else,\u00a0<\/span><\/em>for it determines the course of your life.<\/em> NLT<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Happy Saturday!
