A Sunday Blessing

Just saw the Israeli movie Lemon Tree -
In the movie one character says
"Bless your hands"
when a gift is offered to him.
Isn't that the coolest expression?

Hands are truly amazing  - 
they can paint, play the piano, sculpt a topiary,
create a meal and reach out to others.
I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.
Psalm 63: 4







So next time someone brings you something from the heart, 
why not say to them "Bless your hands."
Try it out - I bet you'll get a smile!
Bless your hands and mine!

  4. As a musician, this phrase applies to me as well. I'm reading a book called "The Art of Practicing" that I hope will teach me to relax and truly enjoy my practice time -- I think I'll start by asking God to "bless my hands".
