Ok, Gang! Here's your list of 88+ phrases that are like medicine for the soul. Thank you to all of you who replied so we all could be blessed by you!

36) I have been thinking so much about you lately and how much I miss you.

43) I love you and always will.

63) MOM, Jesus Loves Me - My son was 5 or 6 years old and he was being very naughty. I sent him to his room he slammed the door, which made me even more upset. Like most mothers I had to get the last word, or so I thought. So I yelled up the stairs, "Steve, you're so bad, no one is going to like you." A second later he opened the door and shouted back "MOM, Jesus Loves Me" and slammed the door again. He is 35 now, but that incident never left me. It made my day. So when things get difficult I think of that little boy, and it fills me with joy. I hope it makes you smile.
64) Mommy, can I snuggle with you?
65) "Pet names" that couples call each other, especially when they are first married.
66) Praise the Lord!
67) "Silent" words - I am most affected by the "silent" words spoken through a touch, or a look on when words just can't express what the heart is feeling. For those of us who has seen the movie "Passion of the Christ", while it was difficult to watch, the scene that most got to me was when the actor who portrayed Christ was given the cross to carry...the look on his face when he was presented the cross welcomed the closure of His suffering, and the completion of His mission on earth...It just spoke Thank God! to me.
68) Sweet Day Dreams.
69) Sweetdreams.
70-71) Thank You! (2 times)
72) Thanks for all that you do and the great attitude with which you do it.
73) That's alright, no harm done.
74) Welcome home, my son. # 1 - "Welcome home my son"... The phrase heard when you appear at Heaven's Gate. Our life on Earth is a struggle day by day, and we do the best we can. But that moment when our life tasks are finished, we are rewarded with a place back home where followers of Christ belong. # 2 of course is "Go Vols"

76) You are a blessing to me.
77) You are beautiful.
78) You are loved.
79) You are one of the most genuine and kind-hearted persons I know.

82) You are the best grandma in the whole world.
83) "You're in my prayers" when delivered with heartfelt love is up there with "I love you" said with true emotion.
84) Your foot is not broken! (Flo has had multiple breaks and surgeries on both feet in recent years.)
85) Your sins have been forgiven.
86) Your smile (or laughter) melts my heart.
87) Can't get online this evening, but I wanted to respond to DOP..... I'm grateful anytime someone says they forgive me. But nothing compares with someone saying they love me. When someone tells me they forgive me, it is a response to an act, something I have done. Their responsibility to me can end - the door may shut. When they tell me they love me, the door remains open. There is a promise that they will love me today, tomorrow and always. I don't remember exactly how you phrased it, but I think you asked what we want to hear more than anything...that would be my children telling me they love me, Taylor (my son, who was tragically killed when he was 5 almost 16 years ago) or my mom telling me they loved me one more time, and hopefully, at some point, someone God places in my life to tell me they love me.
88) Bonus smile - An old nun who was living in a convent next to a construction site noticed the coarse language of the workers and decided to spend some time with them to correct their ways. She decided she would take her lunch and sit with them, so she put her sandwich in a brown bag and walked over to the spot where the men were eating.
Sporting a big smile, she walked up to the group and asked: "Any of you men know Jesus Christ?" They shook their heads and looked at each other, very confused.
Then, one of the workers looked up into the steelworks and yelled out, "Anybody up there know Jesus Christ?" One of the steelworkers yelled back down, "Why?" The worker yelled back, "'Cause his mom's here with his lunch."
Praaaaaaise God!
