ARE NOT THE HANDS OF A DAUGHTER HEALING HANDS WHEN...

Are not the hands of a Daughter Healing Hands when as a mere infant, upon seeing you appear by her crib, she reaches out to you with outstretched hands, and a smile so warm it would melt an iceberg? In an instant, all the workday is gone, and your heart is singing praises to GOD for having blessed you with this wonderful, wonderful bundle of innocence and joy!

Are not the hands of a Daughter Healing Hands when as a toddler she anxiously awaits your return by the door, and as soon as she sees you pull into the driveway she gets all excited, smiling, clapping, spinning around and around? Then, as soon as you open the door, she practically launches herself into your outstretched arms!

Are not the hands of a Daughter Healing Hands when as you enter "her room", she invites you to join her and her dolls for a tea party? There she sits, in her pajamas and robe, freshly cut hair (from the delightful day before), face as radiant as the rising Sun, so beautiful is she as she asks each of her guests one lump or two (sugar for your tea of course)! Absolutely heart-warming and adorable is she, as your mind takes mental pictures and stores them ever so lovingly for future use when your heart needs a lift!

Are not the hands of a Daughter Healing Hands when, as instructed  by you how she may earn money weekly (instead of just being given money), she writes out her multiplication tables (0-12, getting $1.00 for each complete set), and her alphabet (A-Z in capital and small letters for $1.00, A-Z in capital and small letters in script for $1.00), and instead of just doing them all one time, she does each 5 times (each week)? Yes, even then did she know her time and her effort would not come cheap,and it didn't, but it was the best money I ever spent (for her and my sons)!

And, to this day, she continues to make sure her efforts are rewarded as she believes they should be! My heart could not possibly be more proud of her efforts, her detail, her results, her wonderful work ethic! Are not the hands of one so accomplished, so focused, now so mature and sought after, Healing Hands to a Parent's heart?

Are not the hands of a Daughter Healing Hands when YOU awake while recovering from having had surgery the day before, and there she sits upon your hospital bed and asks YOU if YOU would care to join her for a cup of Tea (you flash back to those loving memories of tea parties in her room)? Oh, the shear delight and joy that fills your heart, surely the best medicine ever!

Are not the hands of a Daughter Healing Hands when as you age, continually do you marvel at the Woman she has become; full of Life, Love, Belief, Faith, and HOPE for the LIFE still before her? Gentle, yet stern if the case need be, full of compassion, and so loving a Mother YOU know she'll be!

Are not the hands of a Daughter Healing Hands when you ask for her assistance in matters she is expert, and without any hesitation, she stops what she is doing, and she assists YOU, for clearly do YOU mean that much to her?

Are not the hands of a Daughter Healing Hands when even after she has found the Love of her Life, one with whom she will spend her Life, she looks YOU in the eye and says forever will YOU always have a place within her heart? And with a wink, and a chuckle, she whispers as if a dare; Shall WE have Tea, one lump or two?

And if all these be so, have not GOD'S HEALING HANDS been at work all the while?

So significant are WE all, each and every one of US, for WE all have hands that can HEAL if we listen to that which calls from within our heart and choose to listen! Dare to be different, dare to be true, dare to be bold, DARE TO BE YOU! Our World is all the better for YOU being in it!

So much can WE do, shall WE begin?
