Charles Warner|Daily Times The best medicine of all Short of the healing touch of Christ Himself, there is better relief for pain than a mother's kiss. That kiss, like the healing touch of Christ, is given in love, and because it is given in love it has the power to take away the suffering and pain that is all too often humanity's lot in life. Happy Mother's Day.
