The Power Of A Positive Touch

A Positive Touch

Oh, the power of a positive touch. Haven't you known it? The doctor who treated you, or the teacher who dried your tears? Was there a hand holding yours at a funeral? Another on your shoulder during a trial? A handshake of welcome at a new job?

Can't we offer the same? Many of you already do. Some of you have the master touch. If you aren't touching the less fortunate personally, your hands are writing letters, dialing phones, baking pies. You have learned the power of a touch.

But others of us tend to forget. Our hearts are good; it's just that our memories are bad. We forget how significant one touch can be. There's great power in a positive touch.
