Holding Hands

Lepaterique, Honduras

Most children love to hold hands with adults. And if we're honest, most of us adults love to hold the hands of children. There is something magical about the relationship between an adult and a child when hands are held.

Words need not be spoken to communicate love when holding hands.

Holding hands communicates love when children experience both joys and sorrows in life.

"Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep." Romans 12:15 English Standard Version

We hold children's hands when they are happy.

We hold children's hands when they are sad.

We hold children's hands as a means of communicating that we care for them both when times are tough and when times are good. We hold their hands because God has grasped our hands when he sent his Son into our world, taking on our human flesh.

By taking hold of hands we communicate the love of God to each other.

Today's Challenge: I invite you to hold a hand today.
