Jack’s Winning Words 9/1/17
“God has no hands but our hands to do his work today.”  (Annie Johnson Flint)  God’s hands/Our hands is a poem written to define the need to rebuild Europe after the devastation of WW 2.  Annie’s words can apply to the task of rebuilding after Hurricane Harvey.   Many groups, secular and religious, are collecting funds to help rebuild after Harvey.  Our gifts are a way to be “God’s hands.”  I’m looking at my hands…now…and my checkbook!    ;-)  Jack

FROM DR J:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdiZhJh5q3E
I can change the world, with my own two hands
Make a better place, with my own two hands
Make a kinder place, oh with my, oh with my own two hands
With my own, with my own two hands
With my own, with my own two hands

FROM TARMART REV:  Our church and denomination are actually involved as well. We sent a group down to New Orleans last time . . .

JACK:  Someone sent the lyrics for Jewel's "Hands,"  which say, in part:  "We are God's eyes
God's hands  God's mind  We are God's eyes  God's hands  God's heart  We are God's eyes  God's hands  God's eyes  We are God's hands"
