the hands You've given me.


i find no greater delight in life than to productively use my hands.
these are the times when i feel my hands are best at work:

kneading a batch of bread dough and carefully forming the loaves
poking seeds into freshly tilled earth, and covering them gently with soil
carefully sewing beautiful yards of fabric together to make lovely things
letting my fingers sing as they dance across the piano keys
picking up a little person and enjoying tiny delights with them

And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands; 
yes, establish the work of our hands. -Psalm 90:17
