So I’ve never really had to pray for FREE HUGS before until today…well, at least in terms of weather!
We postponed last week due to rain and there’s chances of rain again tomorrow. But maybe even if it’s raining we will still show the love on campus!
Here are some things I wrote to the students who are helping out. I’m trying to think of ways we can be more bold when people ask why we are doing free hugs.
“So why are you doing this?”
a. We want people to know that Jesus loves everybody.
b. We want people to know that Jesus loves Ole Miss.
c. Free Hugs is a way to be a peacemaker (blessed are the peacemakers)
d. Because God loves you.
e. Because “love is the answer” (remember the song)
Anybody else have a response you think is good?
Also, we hope to go around asking students if they believe in the resurrection and why.
Pray for us! Should be an exciting day!
The answer I gave someone one time was, (and this is because I hadn’t thought hard enough beforehand) “Who doesn’t need a hug?” But they walked all the way back to get a hug!
