Sorry my hands are dirty....

If you hear that, would you stand back or give a handshake anyway?

I have found myself in this situation countless number of times and I have instinctively not only shook the "dirty" hand but also gave a hug. Seeing the big smile warms my heart and there is always a lesson learned.

I learn to be accepting of other people even when they feel "unworthy".

How are we treating others within our communities, even WA. I'm a fervent believer in doing something not for what I will gain but for how my gesture will change the life I am touching.

How do you want to be remembered?

Indeed, a simple handshake, gesture or a smile could touch a persons heart and could make a big difference. . . . :-)

Absolutely! We touch people's hearts in many different ways.

As a farmer lady, I frequently gave a dirty handshake and usually just grabbed the person and smudged up their clothes also....LOL

Love those 'heart to heart' hugs better than shakes anyway.....;)

Dirty hands just means the person is hard working!

That's another perspective to this scenario, Kelly! Very true, those hands are not idle at all.

Hands dirty = ok. Hearts dirty doesn't work.

Someone with a dirty heart needs cleansing of course. Thanks, Debbi!

The same as you Ade as with you I wouldn't expect anything less than you giving from the heart as you do. Stayed blessed. It is also another version of a pay it forward as your simple kindness could mean the difference between life and death too to someone else.
Take care and be well

Same here. That's what they make soap and water for, right? If someone needs a hug or a shake, a few bugs won't stop me. :)
