There are scars
We are often asked:
Will they be there when she’s older?
Will she feel bad about herself?
Will she try to cover them over?
We will teach her about her scars
Where they came from
What they mean
We will teach her to be proud of herself
To honour these marks
Evidence of her recovery
To me these are not scars
It is a badge of honour
A mark that sets her apart
A visible sign of what God has done
We all have scars
Most are not visible
We have a choice
See them as marks of hurt
Or see them as our path to victory
How God healed our wounds
You may ask yourself
Will my child have scars?
Yes
And so will you
