"When a boy or girl thrusts his small hand in yours, it may be smeared with chocolate ice cream, or grimy from petting an animal; and there may be a wart under the right thrmb or a bandage around a little finger. But the most important thing about his hands is that they are the hands of the future.These are the hands that someday may hold a Bible or a Colt revolver; play the church piano or spin a gambling wheel; gently dress a leper's wound, or tremble wretchedly, uncontrolled by an alcoholic mind.
Right now that hand is YOURS. It asks for help and guidance. It represents a full-fledged personality in miniature to be respected as a separate individual whose day-to-day growth in Christian adulthood is your responsibility.
What will YOU do with that hand that has been entrusted to you?" - In your Hands (From Teacher's Swap Shop)
