Speaking of scars and what you go through to get them:
My son learned a very difficult lesson in life at a very young age... One that I am still learning.! My boys went through a whole lot of stuff for several years with other children. More than just kids being kids... Without going into any detail, it was just bad.... When we moved, he was very bitter and angry. My husband and I did our best to teach him how to forgive. I can't tell you how made I had become because of what my children went through.. I would tell my husband that was scarred at such a young age and being the mother I am, I would become very upset. You know, people can say what they want about me and I really don't care.... I know who and what I am...But when you mess with my husband or children, this sweet, calm, nonconfrontational lady becomes very not so sweet and not so calm.
Well, just the other night my son and I were downstairs together and out of the blue he said, "Mom, you know how I used to feel when I would think of what we went through before?" He said, "You know how I used to get all angry and mad?" I said "yes".... Then he said, "well, it's not there anymore!
I don't feel mad anymore when I think about it"... in fact, I want to go see them ( those that hurt him) again... I don't have that angry feeling anymore!"
Do you know what that does to a Mom?
My son is learning lessons easier than I am!
... I was mad that my children went through this at a young age, but it is making them! God is molding them at a young age.... "what the devil meant for bad, GOD meant it for my good"
