"Hugged your Mom lately?"

Click here to listen to Dr. Joey tell his story!

A six-year-old son and his mom were walking out to the van one morning, getting ready to take a little trip. For no apparent reason, just right out of the blue, the little guy looks up at his mom and says, "You know Mom, my whole world would change if you weren’t in it."

His Mom was so shocked by his statement that she couldn’t respond. I mean, it’s not everyday your six-year-old looks at you and says something like that. The best she could say was, "Yes, honey, you’re right."
Then he threw his arms around his Mom and gave her the biggest, tightest hug his little arms could muster, telling her how glad he was that she is in his life.

His sudden gratitude caused his Mom to remember the important role she plays in her children’s lives and to ponder how that can change at any point and time.

Be sure to hug your Mom this weekend and let her know how glad you are that she’s in your life. If you can’t hug her, find a Mom you can hug and let her know what a gift from God she is to her children.
