Love Yourself

For the 3rd week of the "All Four Love"
the theme was "Love Yourself"
I chose my hands, for several reasons...
I don't have attractive hands,
but they "are" my Mother's hands,
so they are easier to love the older I get!
They are hands that have cuddled, loved
and raised 5 children to adulthood,
held the hands of the dying,
nursed the sick,
folded in prayer,
hugged the hurting,
scrubbed and painted,
sewed and cooked...
they are worth learning to love.
