the rain came yesterday and afterwards left a partly sunny sky with a cool breeze

H and I went for a walk hoping for shaved ice but they had closed early -

as we walked our last couple of blocks, just before learning of this small disappointment, 

ahead of us, coming our direction, was a man holding a water bottle in his right hand and a woman holding a dog leash in her left... it was a small white fluffy dog - not sure what breed...

the couple looked hot and their faces more concentrated and not speaking, and in conjunction, a thought came that I hope their house is close b/c they looked ready to be there

before our blocks met, they turned a corner and by the time we crossed that intersection, one glance down their direction and his and her free hands had joined and amidst the hot and no speaking, they were holding hands and my heart melted just a bit making me aware it needed to do so

Psalm 27:14 is a hold hands verse - if in our freedom, we choose to have good courage,
God promises to grab hold and place His strength to it. 

The entire verse reads:

Wait on the LORD; 

Be of good courage, 

And He shall strengthen your heart;

Wait, I say, on the LORD!
