Yes it does!
I had a young couple in the store last weekend looking at wedding bands. When we got to talking, he said he was on leave from Iraq. Welllll, of course I thanked him for his service and told him that he and all his mates were in my prayers. He was kinda shy about it, but I think he appreciated me saying it. I was having a hard time saying it around the big ole lump in my throat! When he was leaving, I just told him to stay safe. But I wanted to hug him so badly!
My heart just fills up when I talk to them!!!!
I know what you mean. Sometimes I cannot spit out the words that are in my heart.
