I Wanna Hold Your Hand


A Happy Birthday Follow-up...

Dad was a stickler about letting us listen to secular music. But, somehow, he knew five words to a Beatles song, "I Wanna Hold Your Hand." And, that's all he knew...just those five words to the song.   :-) We'd laugh and giggle and he'd keep singing the five-word lyric - OFF TUNE!!! (Okay, so technically it's really six words because the title is not correct usage of the English language, but it's The Beatles, so who cares?) 

Then, he'd take us by our hands as we clumsily stepped on top of his shoes, and he would glide across the floor; we were dancing, uh-huh, with our feet on top of his feet!!!! ***Perhaps that's what they call the P'costal Preacher's Waltz?*** And we'll always remember when dad would give all his daughters (us) a "sugar" on our cheek, after he finished preaching on Sunday mornings! 

So,  pretend that this one is from daddy, looking down from Heaven, whistling these five words, with his smirk, "I Wanna Hold Your Hand"in honor of your August 25th birthday! 

(Beatles) Blessings: "...the hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him." Ezra 8:22 (God wants to hold our hand!)
