Some people think hugs are just something little...I think a hug is a huge encouragment and a way to share your love (whatever love it may be) with someone. You can tell someone you are concerned, you understand, you love them, you hurt for them, you celebrate with them, and many other things through a simple hug. Nothing has to be said, but a hug can say it all!
Our Pastor gives me a hug often and asks, "how are you doing/feeling"...do you know that really says something to me!?!?
A 'almost' family member that has been around our family since my dad was a little boy is this tiny little lady but she gives the most amazing hugs! Whenever we get 'home' and go to church in LB I always look forward to seeing Judy and getting caught up in the strong grip of her hugs! It amazes me how strong she is!
I get hugs from my little Pumpkins often, just tonight two sisters were going out the door and I asked if I could have a hug and before I knew it I was getting hugs from them and another little boy!
A friend of mine who has a 6 week old baby while she was still pregnant would hug me and wiggle and joke about how our babies were playing together!
My husband just last weekend, I was sitting on our bed crying because of some hurt that was caused by another person and while he didn't know what to say...Handsome came beside me and held me in a tight hug and let me cry. Sometimes you don't need words, you just need a hug!
Princess has taken to hugging my belly so Cupcake doesn't get left out!
The list can go on and on about what a hug can do. I will never forget some peoples hugs...my Grandma A used to pat me on the back every time she hugged me. My Grandpa D used to squeeze very tight while saying 'bye-bye now'at the same time. I will never forget how my little Pumpkin R squeezes my neck so hard when he wakes up I almost think I need to make a chiropractor appointment! Or Judy's hug...or how my cousin C hugged me on my wedding day and whispered 'you look beautiful'...I don't remember ever getting a hug from him before!
Hugs are amazing...and while I do not suggest just running up to random strangers and giving them a hug to boost their day, I do suggest maybe adding a hug here and there to friends and family that you love 'just because!'
Yes, I am thankful for HUGS!
