Yarrow was known as the Soldier’s Woundwort

and was used to pack deep open wounds.

It stopped bleeding, eased pain,

and helped prevent tissue decay.

For all its medicinal value it did not heal souls.

Only the Lord God Almighty can do that.

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”

- Psalm 147:3 NIV

However we can do our part

to help ease the pain of the human spirit

by doing God’s work…

through caring, love, and prayer.

“How far you go in life

depends on your being tender with the young,

compassionate with the aged,

sympathetic with the striving

and tolerant of the weak and strong,

because someday in your life

you will have been all of these.”

- George Washington Carver

“Be there for someone…

you know who…

God watches also

whose heart is so true.”

- Mike Roth
