We use them to accuse! (thank you Sarah for being my guinnea pig) LOL
And sadly, hands are used as striking tools; instruments of doom.
When I was a child, and we were in the store, there were many times when my mother would reach for a can of beans and we would duck! It made her so mad.... because it was most likely embarrassing. LOL She would always say, "Why do you do that??" Ummm... well.... we were trying to avoid the hand! We were afraid of those hands, somehow, she didn't understand this. :/
I don't want my children to be afraid of my hands. I don't want my hands to be remembered as accusatory hands, but as hands of love, representing our Heavenly Father.
Both Mike and I want our hands to be hands of loving acceptance and embrace. We want our hands to be patient hands, kind hands.
Isn't this a much better way?
Thank you Anna and Sarah for helping me with this post. :) (Anna's hands made the heart shape, and she took the pictures.)
"Oh to be His hands extended".

Heheh I love the photo of you pointing at Sarah! Too funny - I can see both of you trying very hard not to laugh! :P
I love Sarah's expression when you're getting on to her.
We were both trying to keep from laughing. :)
Gorgeous! So, so true. I will be posting a tiny bit on this, rather than take up all your response space!
It's so true!!! Thank you!!! I have two children and sometimes I understand that I am too harsh with them. I try to keep number of hugs much higher than number of swats.
