Hugs

In this time of mobile phones, social media and the internet, we can sometimes find ourselves void of any real human contact/interaction. I find that very sad, as there are some things which are not the same if they are done electronically. e.g. (((hugs))) – a virtual hug.

See what I mean, a (((hugs))) while good and expresses the sender’s care and compassion for the receiver, is not quite the same as receiving a hug in person is it?

There can be many times in our lives when we need a hug from a friend or family member, just to reassure us that all will be OK. A virtual hugs can often mean the world to the receiver at these times, however for me nothing will ever beat a real hug. Hugs often mean more than any words can ever say.

Don’t get me wrong I love getting a virtual hug from my friends when they can’t be with me in person when I’m in need of a hug. So thanks to all of you who at some point have given me a virtual (((hugs))).

And to those who have given me a real hug when I’ve needed it most, an extra special thank you, as it’s very often meant the world to me.

Everyone needs a hug sometimes, so give your friends and family a hug today.

Open Arms by Michael W Smith

Many people in the steeple
But no one leads the lost
Quick to stand and speak
All of their beliefs
Quick to leave you if you fall

Tell me where’s the love
It knows no boundaries
Tell me where’s the love
Yeah yeah
Open arms
We need to be
Open arms

Never judge you
Always loving
Needs to be what we become
Lifting up the lost
Showing them the cross
Shining brightly like the sun

Tell me where’s the love
It knows no boundaries
Tell me where’s the love
Yeah yeah
Open arms
We need to be
Open arms
Yeah

Tell me where’s the love
That knows no boundaries
Tell me where’s the love
Yeah yeah
Open arms
We need to be
Open arms
Yeah
Oh yeah
Everybody sing
