Dear God,

Hugs, who cannot feel the power of a hug, Lord?  The squeeze, the warmth, and the embrace speaks volumes to the human soul. 

Every moment of insight that comes seemingly of the blue is like a giant hug from heaven.  We know its power, its wisdom, and its grace.  Every moment of hope that rises up from the depths is like a heavenly hug.  Every moment of light that pierces our darkness is like a hug that will not let us go until we know the full depth of love from on high.

We need hugs and we need to give them because we participate in heaven's business when we reach out to hug and when we receive hugs offered to us. Hugs, like so much more, is yet another gift, a blessing from your hands and we are so grateful.

Blessed be
your name,
Heavenly Father;
thank you
for your kindness
that reaches out
to us
from eternity.
We are blessed
when you
bless us,
O Lord.
Thank you
for hugs
that remind us
of you.

Love, Andrea
