Yesterday, I wrote a post about the photo that I had seen online. I noticed that it would take a lot to continue to show love in a situation like the one portrayed in the photo.
Loving Someone Past Their Sadness
After seeing the picture for a while and thinking on it, another perspective came to mind.
Do you know what its like to hug someone that seemingly doesn’t want you to hug them?
Alright, but do you know someone that wants a hug, but is afraid to let you love and hug them because of their past hurts?
as I thought about this tonight, I looked at the husband/father’s face.
As I looked at him, I wondered what was on his mind? What was bothering him so? What was he searching for? Did he want help but not know how to ask for it?
Why was his head down, his knees and shoulders slouched? How could he be helped? Did he want help? Does he want his wife to hug him? Does he understand how much he is loved…or can he only feel the rejection of times past.
I don’t have the answer to any of these problems, but I am still wondering.
