Let's Hug Someone Today!

Before the ACLU and the politically correct folks got involved, the act of hugging another human being was a natural display of affection. Perhaps it is one of the reasons why the inspired writer Paul documented some folks in the society of his day as being “without natural affection” (Romans 1:31 KJV).

The following are six benefits derived from the simple affectionate act of hugging (source):

1) Reduces heart disease

2) Diminishes stress

3) Promotes longevity

4) Strengthens social ties

5) Lowers blood pressure

6) Lowers heart rate

Brethren and friends, let’s hug someone today!
