When the kids were little, a band-aid could solve so many hurts and boo-boos. For my older set, the hurts are so much bigger and too big for band-aids. Now the hurts need an ear to listen, a warm hug, a smile, a word of encouragement or maybe just quiet, a place of rest, ... sometimes just my presence. And the hurts may or may not go away with these "remedies". They may only be temporary and provide a place of peace for a moment.
What's a mom to do when she can't make the pain go away .... when she can't make her child "better"?
Pray. Trust. Pray.
I'm praying!
