Religion and spirituality are both matters that have always been close to humanity’s heart. Regardless of a person’s belief, most humans accept that there is an energy or source that is greater than ourselves. Some would call it God; some would call it the ultimate source creator. Putting our hands together is a form of gratitude we feel towards all that we have in our life. It is also a form of prayer and appreciation to God for providing us all that we ever need. We are blessed with more than enough, always.
