H The Hands that First Held Mary's Child—
Dan Forrest. An incredible text tells the
extraordinary story of a Child, whose journey
begins in Bethlehem, with the weathered hands
of a carpenter holding his newborn son. "The
hands that first held Mary's child were hard from
working wood. From boards they sawed and
planed and filed and splinters they withstood.
This day they gripped no tool of steel, they drove
no iron nail, but cradled from the head to heel our
Lord, newborn and frail."
