i shorten this story by a lot so that the gist is there or else most of the story is quite long. today i will share a bit more i guess.

There was once a retired judge,A, who believe love is the greatest power. thus he become a hugger after he retired. therefore he was duped the "hugging judge".  One day this judge created a a little red heart sticker and offer this to people 4 a hugs. he was on national TV before because of this action of his. but one day his friend,B, a clown ask him to accompany her down to a home for the disabled to help out. he took his sticker and went ahead with it without thinking. he have never hugged people who are terminally ill or retarded before so he struggle at the start but soon it become easier. After several hours in the home they came to the last ward. within the last ward was 34 of the worst cases he have ever seen. it was so grim it took his heart away. But out of commitment they start to work their way around the ward followly closely by the medical staff. Finally he came to the last person, C. C was wearing a big white bib which he was drooling on.  A look at him and say to his friend, " let go, there is no way we can reach thru to this person." B replied "c'mon, A he a fellow human being, too, isn't he?" then B put a funny balloon hat on his head. A took out a sticker place it on him and with a deep breathe, leaned down and gave C a hug.

All of a sudden C started squealing. some of the patient started to clang thing together. A was shock and approach the medical staff for explanation only to find all of them crying. So A ask the head nurse, " what going on?"

the amazing truth was that C have never smile in 23 years. If a hug can make a person who have never smile for 23 years smile, how much could it do to hug someone who have been hurt recently or suffering in silence inside. Come on guys i hope thru this story it inspire us to hug anyone whom we feel we could heal be it a guy or a gal. put on a smile, don't b fake and do it with full sincerity. they will see your light. what is a hugs, it helps the immune system to cure depression, reduces stress and induces sleep. it has no unpleasant side effect. Jesus once say it better to give then to receive. i believe if Jesus return. the first thing he would want to do is to hugs us real tightly and tell us how much he love us.(story adapted fr chicken soup for the soul)

If i think i was great or courageous enough. I would have been greatly humble by what one small kid have done that ashamed me greatly.

There was once a little gal call A, she was suffering fr a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery is the blood transfusion from her 5 year old brother, who have miraculously survived the disease and developed the antibodies against it.The doctor explain the situation to her little brother and ask if he would be willing to give his blood to her sister. He hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breathe and saying, " Yes, I'll do it if it will save A."

"As the transfusion progressed, he lay in a bed next to his sister and smiled,seeing the color returning to her cheeks. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, " will i start to die right away?"

Being young the boy misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give her sister all his blood. (Adapted from the chicken soup for the soul)

as i was reading all this story, the Lord prompt me to hear the song here i am to worship. A bit no link but it make me remember there was once someone 2000 years ago that have done this for me, one without transgression, one so holy that i am not worthy enough to speak his name.

How have our life changes others, even if we have to do it like the starfish thrower, one starfish by one starfish. where is our first starfish, have we ever wonder.
