tiny hands

Click for Audio Version

God blesses us abundantly with the birth of our children and grandchildren. He shows us His unending love as we grasp their tiny hands.

6 Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. Proverbs 17:6 KJV

Tiny Hands

She reaches amazingly small 3 month old fingertips up

to catch my hand as I smooth her blanket.

I take her tiny hand in mine.

For long golden moments, we are silent

with her baby hand reaching up

and my wrinkled hand reaching down,

clasped.

I whisper, I love you.”..

and she grabs harder to my fingers

as if to say the same in the only way she knows.

And I realize anew that God touches hearts

often using a child’s so very tiny hands.
