Extra Snuggles!
November 1, 2010
Often I hear my two-year-old at night or even during the day in his little voice say, “I want to hold you.” AKA – I want to be held. Something I also hear him say every night and nearly every quiet time is, “Can I have snuggles?” or “Snuggle me two mins?” I love snuggling him and I don’t think I’ve ever denied him.
Today, as I put him to quiet time he routinely asked, “Can I have snuggles?” but he added ”I want a lot of snuggles!” After I heard his cute little voice say he wanted a lot of snuggles I had a big smile on my face! I thought the same thought, I want a lot of snuggles!
As I reflected on how my son longs to be snuggled, I thought how I long to be snuggled by Jesus. Jesus never denies me of snuggles. He is always willing to stay with me for two more mins. Today I was snuggled as I listened to the song, “My Beloved.” You can be snuggled today too. Why not ask for, extra snuggles!

When I was a little girl, I loved it when my daddy’s arms would be wrapped around me.
I often tell my husband when he has his arms around me, that this is my favorite place – to be held in his embrace.
The same is true (even more true) with God. When I’m basking in His presence, it feels as though He has His arms around me – my favorite place to be.
Good article, Andrea!
