The hands of my students always fascinate me. When I sing the hymn, "He's got the whole world in His hands," I always try to picture God's beautiful hands. We are made in His image, and how lovely are our hands.
This young woman decorated her hands for Eid, the Muslim celebration that ends the month of fasting known as Ramadan.
All day long at The Refugee Sewing Society, I watch hands at work . . . reaching for yarn . . .
. . . gathering fabric for a puffed doll sleeve . . .
. . . snipping thread . . .
. . . turning a hem . . .
. . . measuring carefully . . .
. . . threading a sewing machine . . .
. . . and, of course, sewing . . .
May these hands fold in prayer to the Creator God, lord of heaven and earth.
