THESE LITTLE HANDS

Ten little hand-prints!
These were done in our Primary classroom, tracing each little hand, by the Primary President and myself at the beginning of summer.  I thought they were going to be used in a program or given to the bishopric.  Anyway, I had forgotten them.  The weekend of our family reunion, the presidency gave a "thank you" get-together lunch that I obviously missed.  They handed out these cut-out prints, each class tied together, to each teacher.  I got mine yesterday before Primary began.
What a treasure! 
Each one draws up the memory of that child's sweet face, and smiles that light up my world.  Each one brings the thought of it with it's tiny partner folded together in reverence or prayer.  Each one re-creates the picture of it waving in the air excitedly to share something wonderful with me, or to answer a question.  Each one brings that warm remembrance of feeling it slip into my hand with faith and love.
These hands have touched my life in ways they will never know.
But, most of all -
These hands have touched my HEART!
I LOVE my Primary children!
