Can you all remember the last time you hugged someone besides your husband, wife, children, or any other family member or friend that lives in your home? It's really quite sad. Everyone is really trying to stay away from physical touch because, why? Because social distancing is the thing to do in order to stay away from getting the coronavirus, that is.
Pause break! After finishing writing that last paragraph, this thought came to mind. "Does God like personal touch? Then without thinking, I blurted out, "Does God like physical touch?"
Of course, since I asked the question out loud? And, Joe was really the only one that heard the question. It makes sense for him to answer. Sorry because the delivery And his response seemed like He was somewhat annoyed. As he should have been.
Then, there was a knock to my head. O wow, I have not said that in a while. Long-time DTFS readers, remember when I used to say that, a lot?
Well, that was then. Now? You know since God never disappoints. He once again led us and Joe to a way we can meet with other married couples. Definitely older, married longer, and probably more mature in their marriage than we are.
The couples we met with yesterday were out of many. Still to meet others, probably another day. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to personally hand them my card. I did, however, email my link.
Shout out to Joe and Janet from Texas! Shout out to Don and June all the way from Australia.
So, lately, we haven't really been able to physically meet with anyone. Well aside from my caregiver. Oh, and of course my parents who come once a week!
Oh, reverting back to my question about God liking physical touch. What is coming to mind is this. Yes, I do believe God does like physical touch. I mean it is part of The Five Love Languages.
I think physical touch permissible SS when you are comforting Someone timer nurturing like maybe for a baby. Or, F course because of sex parent sex between a husband and a wife who have mutual agreement future act.
But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?
Acts 20:35
In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
Deuteronomy 15:7-11
“If among you, one of your brothers should become poor, in any of your towns within your land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart or shut your hand against your poor brother, but you shall open your hand to him and lend him sufficient for his need, whatever it may be. Take care lest there be an unworthy thought in your heart and you say, ‘The seventh year, the year of release is near,’ and your eye look grudgingly on your poor brother, and you give him nothing, and he cry to the Lord against you, and you be guilty of sin. You shall give to him freely, and your heart shall not be grudging when you give to him, because for this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake. For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, ‘You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.’
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
Ecclesiastes 4:10
For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!
