STOP AND THINK – Hugging is good medicine. It transfers energy, and gives the person hugged an emotional boost. (Many sources)

The quote goes on to say, “We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth.” We probably don’t really need laboratory evidence to show how important any show of affection is in sharing warmth and encouragement to those who may be discouraged. Find someone you can encourage today.

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up. (1 Thessalonians 5:11)
