The loving hands of a mother reaching for her crying baby. A hand outstretched to shake in welcome when you are a stranger in a new place. On this day when we receive the sign of the cross upon our foreheads or upon our hands to remind us of our mortality and sinfulness, I am reminded of another set of open hands. The hands of Jesus, open to receive not first our love, but our nails. Hands open in the ultimate act of love.When have you experienced God's welcome - God's love - through another's open hands? How have those moments revealed the character of God?
