One of my favorite songs in the Sabbath school when i was a kid is this:

Oh be careful little hand what you do
Oh be careful little hand what you do
For the Father up above
Is looking down with love
Oh be careful
little hand what you do.

Doesn’t that sound nice? I like it. You can sing the same tune with the following phrases:

…eyes what you see
…mouth what you say
…feet where you go

My thought is now focused on the hand. My hand. Our hands! Am sure by now as you read this, you also take time to notice your hand busy working on the keyboard of your pc’s. right?

Well, for me, having a career that really involves my hand, my hand is a very important and most precious part of me. My hands are not the ideal smooth ones. They are rough because I do household chores manually. There are no high-tech stuff to do our chores at home yet — so my hand is always my partner. Using my hand at work, encoding for more than 9 hours a day plus 3 hours online from home – i think I tire my hands too much. So for now, she has that greeny thinny web visible with the naked eye. Long before, I love the look of it, but now that am older, I wish I can spare sometime to rest my hands.

Our hands can do so many things. Good and bad. right? But am sure there are more goodies to be done by our hands than the bad ones. The following are some of the things are hands can do at work, at home, and anywhere, anytime of the day.

- fold in prayer
- prepare food
- water the plants
- harvest fruits
- care for our child
- encode or type
- sweep the floor
- wash the dishes
- dust the whole place (house/oifice/)
- play an instrument (piano/guitar/harp/violin…)
- play sports (basketball/volleyball/baseball/tennis/cricket…)
- build a house
- plant a tree
- operate on a patient
- assist a birthing mother

I know the list can go on and on. And am sure all of you will agree with me that our hands is one of the most important part of our body.
