I am overwhelmed by the scene that he can manage to share what he doesn't have. I thought he is sad because he is living alone with a very simple life. But yet, he offered his time to share a little of himself. I am in tears, It feels good to have someone out there to hug you.
Dear Rainbow Defender, I feel awfully sad that your heart is filled with so much hatred. I am a single but very lonely woman who lives in Austin, TX. I have no friends, no family, no husband or child, especially no one for a contact for in case of a emergency. This campaign and God's words saved me from committing suicide. When you have no one in your life to call you, see how you're doing, much less someone to hold you and have not felt what love is, then and only then, you'll understand.
What's this about Christian proper gander? Any way it goes hugs without strings are great. I understand the resentment about Christians, we are hopefully coming out of an era in which the USA hid behind Jesus and worshiped greed. With that said not all Christians were greedy, and it was Bush that tainted it. Every one just needs to be free as long as they don't seek to harm others.
I almost enjoyed it until sparkheger announced it's Christian propaganda. Why do you imply we need Jesus? Why can't we just hug each other because we're humans?
I'm an Atheist, and I always love YOU (way more than Jesus). I will gladly hug you, reguardless of race, politics, or theologies (or lack there of).
Free Hugs in the US in Dallas, TX at Southern Methodist Uni - March 13-14/09 during the FIRST Robotics Competition! Free admission to public. Come support the youth's interest and discovery of science, technology, AND humanity.
You can't miss us. When we took a break, so I left my sign in an arena, crossed the arena, and the only thing in the crowd that caught my eye was the "Free Hugs" sign!
Hi sakuraknight9274. I'm Mark Heger, the guy in the video. I wanted to tell you that Jesus is always standing there with open arms, ready for you to come running back to him. No matter what you've done or how far away you've gone, he still loves you. His love is unconditional and unchanging. If you have any questions or would just like to talk, please don't hesitate to message me. Thanks for your comment.
this is extremely touching...everytime i watch any of the free hugs videos...even outside of the original i tear up...i'm from austin, texas..this is beautiful :)
I go to UT as well, adn I've actually stood in front of the tower to give free hugs. It's such a good feeling to know that the smallest act of kindness can go a long way for someone who might just need a hug.
First off Your a Beautiful person. Thanks for being awesome !! It makes a Huge difference ! I have been part of free hugs for a few years now and it's amazing to see how its grown.. I don't know where it started or when..but i think this video tells the story why. However "Free Hugs" is not Christian.. or any other religious organization.. It's simply not about that..It's about love ! Yesterday I Gave out free Robot Hugs All Day ! Love For all !
hugging colleg kids. Okay, good. Maybe stay at the bus stop and hug people waiting and people getting off the bus. There are concerts, catch em before they get in line! Amusement parks. Church service. Anyplace people gather. Outside a Mosque. Improve relations! All Christians are encouraged to stand outside the church of another denomination and offer hugs.
I liked the dad type hug at the end. A few months ago I would have ignored you or anyone else with a free hugs sign. Now people better watch out or I may hug them when they are not expecting it and don't even have a sign. Hahaha. I like this video a lot.
Thanks for this - inspirational. And thanks for blessing us with the Scripture - true healing and community is only achieved through His Love. This gives a glimpse of it. Many thanks, Wendy
I'm in the same boat as kiwibuggie. I live in austin and am inspired greatly to do this one day - recorded or not - however, I think my young age makes it a bit weird/difficult to take seriously.
Let me know when yall give some free hugs; I'd LOVE to join yall!
Love the video and can't wait to see more not just in Austin, but around the world!
Best Free Hugs video I've seen. You went to UT. =) Even though I live in Austin, I've never seen anyone give free hugs here before. Could you message me if you go out again?
