That Hug!
Have you experienced that one hug that you will remember for the rest of your life?!
I
know one of mine. It was from Trey. I had just given Trey a present.
Nothing big. Nothing fancy. (Honestly, nothing even that very special
- just a little token of love.) Trey's reaction, however, was worth
waaaaaaaaay more than that gift! He hugged me so hard, squeezing the
breath out of me, thanking me over and over again for his present! "That
hug" will be treasured forever!
Another memorable hug was
received at a very, very large church I visited in Brooklyn, NY.
Instead of the typical handshake greeting, we were encouraged to, you
guessed it, HUG!!!! (The promise of fewer germs being passed was the
reason given!) I received some serious hugging that day!
Do you
have a special moment in time when you received a hug like that? Can
you conjure up the sheer love and support you received in that hug?
The security?
The acceptance?
The support?
The understanding?
Go ahead....find someone in need....give, receive, and remember "that hug!"
It's germ-free!
And if a picture is worth a thousand words, then a hug is worth a million! :)
"comfort
one another, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love
and peace will be with you." 2 Corinthians 13:11
