Mom can I give God a hug?

We've noticed for a long time that Corey is very willing to hug others and sometimes it concerns us as we intervene when it comes to strangers.  Corey is very affectionate but we have been paying attention and although he is not super affectionate to those closest to him, when someone smiles at him or shows approval he wants to respond by hugging them.  It's almost as if to say "you smiled..do you like me??"

So realizing all of this made me smile even more this week.  Corey and I were going over a Cubbie's AWANA verse..."I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made"...I told him this means God made Him very wonderfully and that's when he says "Mom, can I give God a hug?"  YES Corey some day we will.  "Mom, can I hold His hand?"  YES Corey and when God sees you He would take you in his arms and tell you how special you are "Like you do Mom?"  YES Corey.....

Heart melted :)
