05.08.2023 - Your Weekly Hug - Positive Inspiration for Your Week

Hello! Welcome to Your Weekly Hug!

Today, I invite you to spend the next 3.5+ minutes with me to hear a special inspirational message from the Hugs devotional. It's here to inspire and help guide you through the rest of your week!

And after the video finishes, you’re encouraged to take a few moments to sit quietly and reflect on what you heard.

If you'd like to learn more about the Cotton Rope Beechwood Door Rosary that is hanging on the doorknob behind Kathleen in the video, click here.

Let peace be with you as you prepare for the week ahead! Please know I'm praying for you!

Hugs,
Kathleen 

Hugs for Our Children

Lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul … Teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. - Deuteronomy 11:18-19

Have you hugged a child lately? If so, you've experienced one of life’s greatest pleasures. Every child is a priceless gift from the Creator. And when we share love and affection with our children, we - and they - are blessed beyond measure.

As parents, friends of parents, aunts, and grandmothers, we understand the critical importance of raising our children with love, with discipline, and with God. It’s a tall order and a profoundly important responsibility. But with God’s help, we can do it.

Every child needs the presence of caring adults who serve as positive role models. May we, as concerned adults, behave ourselves - and raise our children - accordingly.

“A child’s hand in yours - what a tenderness it arouses, what power it conjures. You are instantly the very touchstone of wisdom and strength.” - Margorie Holmes
