Morning Hugs

One of my dear friends, Katie, and I (Sara A) implemented the morning hug idea when we were leading a backpacking trip with a group of middle school girls. I am a big fan. I love getting them. Anyway, when we wake up in the morning and leave the sanctuary of our room, we get attacked by the kids. If it’s early enough to be before school most, if not all, the kids are awake to give us “mornings” and knee or waist high hugs. Otherwise the little boys still out of school run at us full speed and jump, fully trusting that our arms will work and swing them up for a neck hug. I love it and it’s one of my favorite parts of the day.
