Give a Hug!

Thought:

If one can not hug and spread love and joy at church;
where can one hug and spread love and joy at?

In this sad cruel world where there are:
child molestations,
children being trafficked,
teen girls being stalked at school,
children in one parent families,
more and more latchkey kids,
and not to mention all the war and violence
it is no wonder why there is so much sorrow in the world.

Is not this good reason to give more hugs?
We all need a hug once and awhile.

I am a hugger and have always been;
it is how I spread love and joy.

But now we are going from one extreme to the next;
from allowing hugs to not allowing hugs.
Keeping space.

When someone comes up and hugs you,
am I supposed to push them off,
or do I put my one arm around them and hug them back?
(I walk with my cane and only hug with one arm anyway)

I feel that we should allow hugs,
but maybe with just one arm instead of two.
This is a happy medium and still spreads love and joy. 

So just "Give a Hug"!
