Last Saturday I got a tattoo.  They said the pain would be unbearable.  They were wrong!  Getting the tattoo was simple;  the pain comes with the healing.

Almost a week out it's peeling and itchy.  Yet you can't do anything to stop the itch or the peeling.

Isn't that true of all healing?  We know there will be pain and suffering but the healing,  the finished product is on the way.
The only attempts to calm the pain and make my tattoo come out at it's best is Aquaphor. It helps the healing process. It helps soothe the pain and continues the healing process.

So what in our lives helps the healing process?
-God
-Friends
-Faith
-Self care

What helps you through the pain of healing?
