Pain

I wish I could take it away...the pain of healing.

There is something about physical healing that serves as a reminder of the way we heal emotionally.

Little D has a physical wound. Many, actually, but one that is very visible and very raw. Last night I stayed up most of the night holding him so it wouldn't bleed. Tonight he let me clean it. He trusts me.

Trust. I suppose that is the first step in healing.

"Trust in The Lord with all your heart. Lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5
