Inspire Me Monday - Week Twenty Seven
This has been a weekend of rubbing backs. For some crazy reason each of my kids like to have their backs rubbed when they are sick. And by sick, I mean the Scottish definition of "sick:" throwing up. And they.were.all.sick.
I do not ever want someone with me when I am throwing up. Never. I may want someone to come check on me. . . ask me how I am doing, but to touch me while I am in the middle of "being sick". . . never.
I realized once again that touch is such a strong sense. It conveys a sense of care and belonging. It gives comfort and communicates the stability of being there through runny noses and little voices questioning, "When will it stop Mama?"
But I have found that the sense of touch is not just found in the rubbing of a back. It is not just in the presence of a warm body. Sometimes this same kind of warm touch can be in a friend that feels the same way you do and shares her story in order for you to feel not so alone.
Today, I am super giddy to share a bit of news that is sure to inspire and make you feel as if you have received a sweet warm hug from a friend.
