Eli's hands

My FIL called me up and asked me to take some pics of Elijah's hands for a project he has to do for his art class. I had so much fun trying to snap shots of him holding stuff. He has gotten so mobile and active lately that it was near impossible to get him to hold anything or hold still! He wanted to throw, jingle, eat, and run after everything I gave him.

I am happy to say that I was able to capture some truly nice pics. That night Gabriel just 'happened' to pick a Max Lucado book title, "You are Special". On the last page it reads, "Remember," Eli said as Punchinello was leaving, "you are special because I made you. And I don't make mistakes."

Looking at Eli's hands makes me think pf what the Savior's hands must be like. Eli's hands are so sweet and innocence. They are perfect. God made him and he is special and perfect. God also made me and I am special. I have to remember this when I feel overwhelmed, tired, frustrated, and upset. Thank goodness for the Atonement. I'm glad God can take me where and who I am and make me perfect through repentance. I'm glad I am in His hands. His hands are perfect and innocent and kind. So thank you Don for reminding me of the power of God's hands.
