STOP AND THINK – Hugging is good medicine. It transfers energy, and gives the person hugged an emotional boost. (Source unknown)
Almost everybody likes a good hug. It’s a sign of friendship and can be a great encouragement to someone who may be hurting or lonely. Maybe it’s like the ancient Middle Eastern custom of kissing, which is still practiced in many parts of the world. Even the Bible sanctions such behavior.
Greet one another with a holy kiss. (2 Corinthians 13:12)
