What can a hug do? It delights. It
comforts. It thrills. Who doesn’t want the warmth of a loving hug?
Just like the words, hugs speak volumes.
They can mean “I miss You,” “hello,” “Bye,” “I care,” “I love you,” “It’s OK,”
“I forgive,” “I’m so proud of you!”
In victory celebrations, in trying times,
or in hours of bereavement, a kiss is not the need of the hour. It is the hug
that matters most.
A hug costs nothing. But it is a great
gift to give on any occasion. No need to stop for it or bother about size or
length or width. All you need is to open your arms wide and wrap the person
inside them. And no matter how long or how short your arms are, hugs are always
a perfect fit. And what’s so nice about giving hug? You get one in return.
A hug goes beyond physical contact. It
encompasses compassion, love, forgiveness and care. “a hug delights and warms
and charms that must be why God gave us arms,” so goes a quotation.
So with arms wide open, why not go out
and hug someone today? But first, here’s my big, big hug.
