Hands of Faith

Hands so strong yet so easy to the touch, give guidance, strength, discipline and love. Wrinkles and crevices from work he has done show his life as a mirror in the palms of his hands. To shake his hand you can feel the power within, the love he has given and the man he has been. In times of happiness he uses his hands to clap with glee and in times of sorrow to cup the tears that fall so freely. The most important thing he has done with his hands he will say, is the thing he does several times a day, as he got on his knees, folded his hands and began to pray.
