My hand

I held a boy's hand today!!! It was the softest hand I've held, besides babies of course. I felt it was similar to holding a cushion, his skin was soft like velvet, and fit snugly into my palm. He was tripping down the stairs, and on a moment's impulse, I reached out to grasp his small hand to steady him. I held his hand gingerly, not fully enveloping it, but just the lightest of touches for him to lean on. Being sleepy, and needing it, he didn't pull away.

I was thinking back on the softness of the hand, and it struck me that maybe sometimes we are like the little boy in life, tripping and stumbling our way through, and we need God's hand to steady us. :) SYFC games tomorrow! I need to be a good gamemaster!
