"All the brothers here send their greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss." 1 Corinthians 16:20 (NIV)
So many times in the old and new Testaments we're told to greet one another (other believers) with a kiss. Nothing, sexual or nasty just a family hello, I'm glad to see you, kiss on the cheek.
It's a proven fact that I've read many times in psychology books, magazine articles and Internet articles. Hugs and feeling love increases blood flow and stimulates endorphins that help the reasoning process. Over all love just helps you and the other person get through the day a little easier. Go ahead make someones day give them a hug!
Love is the one thing I am not stingy with. I can honestly say the more I give it, the more love is returned. Occasionally, I have extended my love to a few characters I regret giving it to. (Some took it it in a way that was never intended. So we do need to be careful.).
But, there are so many more people in my own family and close friends I wish I could hug today, but can't because of miles or other circumstances. If you're reading this and you're one of them consider yourself hugged from my heart to yours and with lots of love! :)
