Hugs From God (challenge) |

The morning is so cold and gray, I need some hugs from God today. There seems to be an air of gloom drifting through each empty room. I pause beside the door, then go on outside to rake and hoe the garden bed, where I can see bits of sprouting greenery. Some progress I began to make, when through the clouds, the sun did break to flood the area where I stood and gazed up at the sky. It was a glory to behold. A stream of warm and glowing gold that wrapped me in a warm embrace and put a smile upon my face. I needed hugs and so I guessed this was His love made manifest! Betty Lou Hebert |

Wonderful story! It brought a smile to my face... thanks for passing it along to us. This challenge is truly a fun and inspiring one!  ~Allan If I had your eyes, I'd be blind. For I can only see out of my own. ~~Carly Van Dort |

Bob: I have often been caught in a sudden burst of sunshine when working in the yard, but not until today and answering the challenge, did I think of it as a "hug from God". Now, I will never think of it as anything else! Thanks for commenting. Betty Lou Hebert |

I love the hugs He gives through nature as well...this is so lovely! A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

Your poetry just sings. The sun shining, after the dreary days beginging, certainly does feel like God just reaches down and hugs us. Thank you, Rae |

Gawd this just made my soul jump for joy! This was totally awesome! I had that same feeling today as the gloom loomed outside. I stood in the kitchen doing the dishes and the sun broke out and streamed through the windows warming me, bringing a smile to my face. Just like this poem did!  <*\\\>< |

WhtDove: how neat that we both had somewhat the same experience, with sunshine this morning. I never had thought about the sun breaking through clouds as a "hug from God" but now, since your challenge, I will always think so. The challenge is really a great idea. Thanks. Betty Lou Hebert |
