Hands....

Awesome story I read in a devotional book today about our hands:

Hands are interesting things!

Each human hand has 27 unprounouceable bones, a palm, a thumb and four fingers. The proper bone count in each digit is 14, jointed so as to allow flexing backward, forward and sideways. Tendons and muscles are interlaced and bound together by fibers that give the owner a unity of action. A hand can do heavy work by holding levers and a hand can do delicate work by grasping a writing pen or embroidery needle.

Yet the human hand is no organ of "normal locomotion", rather it is essentially an organ of touch.
Other parts of our bodies can assist a speaker, but hands seem to have a language all of their own.

With our hands we question, we promise, we please, we dismiss, we threaten.
With our hands we express fear, joy, sorrow and surprise.
With our hands we say "I doubt", "I believe", and "forgive me".

Hands reach out in friendship!
Hands clasp in prayer!
And it's a wonderful thing when they can do both!

Look at your hands right now, what have they been doing? Have they been reaching out to someone in need, have they been clasped in prayer to God? If not, you can change how you are using them. Do it now, and help change someone else's life and maybe even your own!
