Hugs and Cuddles

During the last week of July, I helped out at a children's holiday club held at my local church.

In my friends group was a child who went round hugging everyone, including various body parts such as arms and legs. When he was questioned as to why he was hugging arms and legs, this small child simply replied 'it's not just the body that needs a hug'.

To me, this is heart warming. A child, probably about the age of 5, knew the whole body can sense and feel things and should be loved and cared for.

Respect your body, look after it and like this very individual child, hug like you mean it to everyone!
