Today at church I saw our Bishop embrace a young man. This young man has had some struggles in life and has not always lived at home, but he is back home now and he seems to be doing well. When the Bishop saw him in the hall, he was so excited and threw his arms around him. It was a sincere and joyous embrace. I just happened to be walking down the hall and witnessed it, but I am happy that I did.
I was in Primary for awhile today. There were a few children that had a hard time sitting still. I saw Primary teachers, Presidency members and the Primary chorister wrap their arms around these children, lovingly whispering things in their ears and helping them to control their little bodies and sit still.
When I went into Sunday School, the sister next to me whispered, "How are you Janine?" I said, "I'm great." That is what I always say. But then I added, "My mother went on hospice this week." This sweet sister slid her arm around me. She did not need to say anything. I felt of her love and concern and it was appreciated.
Three instances today where the Savior's love was manifested through physical touch.
