Good post I've often said it wasn't the years so much as the mileage.

Wow!, Wow! Wow!,  Is all I can say, OMG! It is awesome to know that God can take scars, which on the surface appears to be ugly.......and use it for greatness as stepping stones.  Agreeing with Sharon,  I prasie God how he is working all the ugly things out for Good....... but you must first submit your will to His. (I remind myself of that often)  Great Blog Terry.

Excellent blog Terry!  I have written much about the pains we go through in life.  We all go through them, and even though it is hard to admit, it is during the most painful times in my life that I did the most growing.  Pain makes us wiser.  My scars are mostly unseen, but they have healed, and God did use them to His Glory.

"Well done thy good and faithful servant," excellent post, we should all learn to wear our hurts/scars with pride because they each tell a story of Gods continued goodness and mercy.

U know Terry I thought of the scar on my belly put there from having 2 csections..though they are ugly and not too becoming...those scars brought 3 bright promises in my life (my twins and youngest daughter)  How we view and wear those scars makes a difference..God can turn the completely ugly in to something good. Great blog.

I love my physical scars. If my skin were smooth and free from all blemish it would mean I had never taken any risks in life. I loved sitting down with my husband and telling the story of my life scar by scar. I even love my emotional scars because they have made me who I am today.

This blog has reminded me of my favorite song - Simon & Garfunkel's The Boxer:

In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame
"I am leaving. I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains...


This song is my favorite because I am the boxer. I think most of us are.

Outstanding!

What a great blog this is. Man, you touched some very serious points of my life. I, like yourself, am fascinated by the life of Paul. Aside from Jesus himself, Paul is one of the people who gives me great encouragement and strength to persevere.

Your blog here today has helped to do the same thing.

Thank you my brother!

Thank you everyone for your comments. It's amazing to see how we're compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and sin that so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.
