This entry touched me deeply and left me in tears because when we hung up the phone I felt I had not done enough to comfort you....did not know how to comfort you. I am so glad that those attending to you and those that love you are reaching out to provide you with the love, comfort, kindness, faith and expertise to heal and soothe you. All my prayers and all my positive thoughts are with you.<br /><br />With Lotsa Love,<br /><br />JoanieJoan Malcolm-Aschoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287352511505502776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6456387438971149721.post-63282143220136911552009-06-10T10:25:35.709-05:002009-06-10T10:25:35.709-05:00Dear Laura,

Your writing is inspirational and I see a best selling book being published when this part of the journey is finished. Counting the days with you.

I thought of your words on touch the morn. I visited my 35 year old son last week and as we sat talking in the car, I began to rub his arm. His response "it is so good to be touched.<br /><br />"if I can touch Him I will be healed." Matt 9:21<br /><br />I know you are reaching out to touch His robe. I can see it, I can feel it.<br /><br />I love you, Marilyn LewisMarilyn Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07217299622367627160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6456387438971149721.post-74844025618213258652009-06-10T08:00:31.779-05:002009-06-10T08:00:31.779-05:00A verse for you today:

When Jesus wraps this all up, it's your faith, not your gold, that God will have on display as evidence of his victory." (MSG) <br /><br />Keep looking to Him. Victory and faith are built one moment at a time.

I was at church last night and one our pastors reminding us that not all touch is equal so to be mindful how we do touch others! Even though you have not touched me physically, you have touched me spiritually! Thank you for being so insightful, candid, funny and for sharing that with us all through your blog!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14567320775825409577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6456387438971149721.post-59366033032649915782009-06-09T22:55:43.328-05:002009-06-09T22:55:43.328-05:00Laura -

Brad and I are covering you in prayer as part of your "symphony." We pray for your COMPLETE recovery and no discomfort whatsoever from now on. Thank you for your post about the healing power of touch. As a nurse (and a patient a couple of years ago) the human touch can mean so much. We love you so much. <br />Carmen BroussardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6456387438971149721.post-27521082927225069222009-06-09T21:50:23.209-05:002009-06-09T21:50:23.209-05:00Wow!

Our family of five is headed to Swaziland this Friday on a medical missions trip and I needed to hear this lesson. Incredible, but simple. I think of the 120,000 orphans there and those dying of AIDS, and now I am praying that even our Christian "touch" will impact them and comfort them.Andy and Wendy Ingramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06821536616243449482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6456387438971149721.post-38493210308782968952009-06-09T21:39:38.677-05:002009-06-09T21:39:38.677-05:00Hi Laura...

With love...Vickie DismukeBuckalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08869164069703168956noreply@blogger.com
