RENTED HANDS Our hands are an extension of God, used to touch one another with love and care. Each person--whether a construction worker, salesperson, furniture broker or even someone living in a nursing home--can extend a hand of love. Men: be kind to your family in words and deeds. Remember: life and death are in the power of your tongue. It takes a true solider to fight for your marriage and your family. It takes no strength at all to give up; you may get ahead for a moment but it will be at the expense of your family. It takes the power and strength of God to hold on even when everything is saying give up: I'm living proof of that.
