last sunday, seemed to be an abnormally busy sunday. at church i have had the privilege to serve in a capacity that keeps me pretty involved. so, as nature has it, some sundays are a lot more busier than others.
after an early meeting, i was feeling a bit overwhelmed with the amount things i had to do, the people i had to reach out to, and the especially the concerns i had of certain people. it was a moment where i just wanted to scream, i QUIT.
as i walked into our main meeting, sacrament meeting, i found two friends sitting there - it was my safe haven.
i don't give a lot of hugs -- i never know my boundaries, but i will admit i LOVE hugs. And in that moment, i just needed a hug from a friend. nothing was said about how i was feeling or what i needed. i just needed that hug.
i think it was that brief moment, of reassurance that no matter what was going on, it was going to be ok. in the end everything was going to be ok. it didn't mean that my day was going to be back to normal, cause it wasn't, but those hugs got me through the day.
even if you're not a hugger - look for someone in need. maybe that is all they need - just to know they are safe and accepted.
