One Hand, Two Hands!

As we continue to keep this year's catechetical theme in mind, (Hands of Holiness) and especially as we think of our blessings this Thanksgiving, here is a prayer you can say at home together. Let us remember that we can use God's gift of hands to show our love for Him by helping others:
One hand, two hands, Five fingers, ten. God, thanks, for my hands. Please, use them again.


From the description of the Max Lucado children's book One Hand, Two Hands:
"A delightful way to show little ones how their hands are a blessing from God that they can use to do help others. Written in rhyming text and illustrated with the charming art of Gaby Hansen, this simple message of God’s blessing of hands not only entertains . . . as it teaches what wonderful things our hands can do from scratching, latching, and petting a pup to washing dishes with mommy and putting toys in a box . . . but it also conveys the important message: We can use God’s gift of hands to show our love for Him by helping others. The book ends tenderly with a prayer of thanks to God for hands and asks Him to use them again:"

Happy Thanksgiving!
