Spencer's birthday

Photo Hunt "Hands" (repost)

Have you ever thought about how wonderful hands are? There was a time in my life when asked 'what part of you do you not like?' and I replied: "I hate my hands" but since then I have come to realize all the wonderful things hands can do... I now love them and especially love all the others who give me a hand in life...



Hands show trust...




They play..





They Work...



Hands feed...






Hands grow...




Hands communicate...




Hands help...




Hands celebrate...





Hands Create...






or help create


Hands comfort..


Hands are for Holding


Hands pledge...





Taken all together hands LOVE
