My hands are small I know....

“Bear in mind that the wonderful things you learn in your schools are the work of many generations.  All this is put in your hands as you inheritance in order that you may receive it, honor it, add to it, and one day faithfully hand it on to your children.”  ~ Albert Einstein

I’ve held his hand many times in my life.  We all have.  We would recognize them anywhere. For 91 years his hands have been teaching the lessons of life. They have held babies, and bombs. They have thrown footballs and hay. His hands have joined in prayer over and over again, for each and every one of us.  His hands have shaped our lives more than we will ever know.  Although his handshake is not as firm as before, he now grips our hearts with more force than ever.
