From today's edition of the comic strip Pearls Before Swine:
I found that very sweet and poignant. At the same time, it reminds me a little of what religion is about for me. I think that some people believe in a sort of magical God who can make things better for us, especially if we pray for it. But I don't believe in that sort of God. That isn't the point as far as I am concerned.
Which is another way of saying that I need a hug from God, and not because that would make my problems go away. Maybe I just need a hug from God--anyway.

This reminds me of our human propensity to ask "WHY did this happen to me?" (I prayed after all!!) Instead, we need to ask, "WHO is with me?" There's when I remember that hug!
I like to think that wind is just the atmosphere hugging me. It's a little more physical than God's hugs, I guess.
Great cartoon, and a sentiment all the sweeter for being real.
May there be real hugs from God for you today.
I agree - we want the God who can fix it all, but, really, a hug goes a long damn way.
