A kiss on the chee-auck

In high school I had a friend who was a foreign exchange student from Chile.
Her name was Amelia.
She was super sweet and kind and was such a refreshing person who stood out to me among many of my fellow highschoolites.
She had alot to share about her culture and family and I enjoyed her friendship very much.
She had a unique accent and I always remembered the way she pronounced the word cheese.
She would say bread and "Chee-ehz."
I thought it was the cutest thing.
In my dream this morning, I walked up to a person I thought I knew and gave her a gentle kiss on her cheek.
She was very touched and considered it.
She touched her hand to her cheek and softly smiled and as she turned to me I realized she was someone I didn’t actually know at all.
I apologized to her and she assured me with kindness it was alright and smiled at me brightly.
It was such a peaceable scene, just real and lovely.
Left me this morning reminding me of these scriptures-

Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Christ. 1 PETER 5:14

Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you. ROMANS 16:16

You gave Me no kiss; but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss My feet. | LUKE 7:45

Greet one another with a holy kiss. 2 CORINTHIANS 13:12

Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss. 1 THESSALONIANS 5:26

All the brethren greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. 1 CORINTHIANS 16:20

“Finally, brethren, whatever is true,
whatever is honorable,
whatever is right,
whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely,
whatever is of good repute,
if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise,
dwell on these things.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭NASB1995‬
That is what I'm going to do.
