hugs of all kinds

I just love to be hugged. All kinds of hugs: bear hugs, fragile hugs, hot hugs, wet hugs, messy hugs, smelly hugs (I prefer the sweet smelling ones), tiny hugs and long time no see hugs (don't really like goodbye ones though). But today I received and extra good one. I was at the children's school when I was almost knocked over from behind. I looked down and two small arms were squeezing me tightly! It is so sweet to but hugged but even sweeter, to me, when it is done with such passion and reckless abandon. I love it when love is so lavishly displayed and so publicly. Becca made my day! She is someone quite wonderful. This reminded me of God who lavished HIS love on me when he sent His only son to die for for me. So that I could be saved, restored, live abundantly and brought into right relationship with a God who loves me more than I can ever imagine! His salvation is living and active and ever changing me with His unchanging love. God  is the most wonderful someone ever! His love is like the best and biggest bear hug ever and it never ends.....
