Thank you for Hands (25)

25

Thank you that I rub soap in really well and keep it on my hands for at least twenty seconds and wash the handle while I wash my hands.

Thank you that people touch my hands sometimes even when I don’t encourage it.

Thank you for my fingernails. Thank you that I can keep them a little longer than most people can stand, and that they can be pretty, and shiny.

Thank you for times when they are a little bit brittle.  I should not like it when they are like that, but I do.  Thank you that they do not break off all the way when they are in that state and that they grow back.

Thank you for the size of my hands.  They are the perfect size.  Thank you for Rachel Quist.  One day she told me that I had small hands, and that made me feel good.  Thank you for that day at the high school that we played Red Rover and she held my hand.

Thank you for the power of hands.

Thank you that I found my Eternal family on my hands, and that I figured out that a hand can be the symbol for home.  

Thank you for the warm feeling on my head when I am given a blessing.

Thank you that my hands allow me to accomplish so much.

Thank you that I can eat while standing up because I have one hand that will let me hold the plate up, and another that I can use to eat.

Thank you that I have two hands.

Thank you that I do not have arthritis or carpal tunnel or any other hand related disease. 

Thank you that hands allow me to write this blog.

Thank you that hands allow me to write at all.

Thank you that hands allow me to open doors.

Thank you that I can comfort people with my hands.

Thank you for fingerprints. Thank you that we always have definite proof that we are unique, even when we really don't feel like it.

Thank you for when my hands don't ache too much from typing.

 Thank you that typing allows me to communicate across great distances with my hands.

Thank you for nubile fingers that can accomplish just about anything.

Thank you that I can eat standing up at social gatherings. Because I have two hands I can hold the plate in one and eat with the other.  I don't have to sit down and have a table to eat because I have two hands.
