Holding Hands

I passed a couple holding hands as I was driving around town today.  I think it struck me because Jeff and I usually hold hands, but it was so hot in Charleston we just couldn't take the contact!  It's such a simple thing to hold hands with someone you care about, but it can mean so much.  It says to the world "We're a couple", and it tells your partner that you care; that you want the connection that the touch of their hand brings.  I applaud that couple for being able to hold hands on such a hot day.  (I love my husband to death, but I know I couldn't do it!)  Their sweet gesture made me think about what it means to hold hands with the one I love, and I found God in that today.
