I agree about the salt water rinses. 1/2 tsp of salt in 1-2 cups of water. Rinse and spit. Also many of my patients found the amino acid L-Lysine to be very effective. The pills are large but taking 100mg (1 gram) a day has been found to bring relief, even for those who have many, many moth sores. I offer this to you with love and confidence! (I cannot tell you to do either salt water rinses OR take L-Lysine as that would be prescribing.) Sending you love, hope, joy and much beauty. Happy Easter! Judith

Jon and I got a really nice photograph from one of our Journalism professors, George Tuck. It’s a man walking alone in Soho NYC and the inscription has always inspired me –

To Jon and Heidi on your wedding –
May you always see the beauty and not the despair

You know now that I read this again after all this time I hope it wasn’t tongue in cheek – (sort of a relevant topic for today – ha!)

Anyway, I guess I will see the beauty of that inscription and nothing else – so I am thinking of the wonderful sky above the yellow house and I say go clouds! Be puffy and magnificent! Let us ponder your design.

Heidi

light of each tomorrow,
give us peace beyond our fear,
and hope beyond our sorrow.

You who know our fears and sadness,
grace us with your peace and gladness;
Spirit of all comfort, fill our hearts.

Healer of our every ill…

In the pain and joy beholding
how your grace is still unfolding,
give us all your vision, God of love.”

(Marty Haugen, (c) 1987)

Thanking God with you for every grace filled moment of every day. From animals who love us, to nurses who comfort us, to families who encourage us, to the God who heals us…

You are loved +,

Carol

I am so glad that the Lord gave you such a beautiful view today..after many “clouds.” We planted some very little twigs yesterday, our part in keeping the earth populated with trees! Although they are nothing more than a small dormant sprout, they are an opportunity for hope. I like to remember what Luther said (I paraphrase) if the world would end tomorrow, I would still plant a tree! I think that was his statement about hope and the future.

Thanks for sharing both your experiences of sadness and hope with us. Each time you do, it provides more strength and encouragement than you can even realize!

You are in our prayers and we know that our heavenly Father holds you gently but strongly in His grasp! He’s not going to let you go! He’s there all the way.

God’s peace and love be yours tonight.

Love, Irene and Ivan
