It was about a month ago when I woke up feeling sort of sad and needing a hug. I said to God, “You know, we humans need a hug every once in awhile.”
Ed had mentioned to me awhile back that “studies show humans need 13 hugs a day for optimal mental health.”
Well, that ain’t happening with Miss Corgi.
ANYWAY
God has a keen sense of humor.
Recently I picked up one of my Bible Study friends for supper. She is a researcher at the University.
She got into the truck with a big fat bag.
“I have something for you. It’s been hanging in my closet for two years. It’s from China. I will never wear it. I feel like a polar bear when I put it on.”
A beautiful furry coat was gifted to me. I tried to dissuade her from giving me such a beautiful garment. I said we’d shop for the right outfit for her to wear it with…That she should show courage to be a polar bear….
I have the coat. I have worn it since!
I look like a polar bear and EVERYONE wants to hug me!!!
The ladies at the dentist office yesterday just sang out, “Can I hug you?!”
“Yes! Of course!” Ha ha ha ha !!!!
So far only a few strangers have asked to hug me.
Mostly it’s people I do know.
My friend is missing out. God is laughing.
Give me a hug!
