Every Scar Has A Story

In 1995, I had surgery to correct an arterial brain malformation (AVM), for which I was given a prognosis of only a 5% chance of survival, and I'd never walk or talk again. I told the doctor in 3 days I'd be going home. He said I was not facing reality. I told him he didn't know my God - I had the surgery from ear to ear on October 30th. On November 2nd, my Mother's birthday, I went home with a metal cradle, walked unassisted, and cooked her a big dinner. I speak several languages, including English - and I don't stutter when I talk or wobble when I walk.

Since that time, I've had nineteen more scars added to this earthly tabernacle, created and formed by God - each time He proves how real He is in my life. Thank you so much for sharing your testimony of the wonderful love of Our Father.

What an inspiring poem. Just had a surgery to cover a wound I sustained during a serious accident some years ago.

Thank you so much for this beautiful poem. I have a huge scar on my right leg from a playground injury. It took so long to heal that the doctor told my mother he might have to amputate to prevent the spread of infection. I was 8 years old at the time. I am now 69 years old and my scar is a reminder of how good my God has been to me.

Thank you so much for this poem. I read this poem in church, after suffering cardiac arrest at home. My husband was told by the paramedics that I probably wouldn't make it. My husband kept telling them to keep trying. I had my whole church praying for me, and I am here to tell my story. This poem touched me in such a way that I felt it necessary to read at church. I could barely get through it, but I did, and every so often I read this poem again. I am so thankful for God's blessings.

Thank you for this poem. I have had liver cancer twice, and it has left me with a very large scar from my liver transplant. I thank my God that I have been cancer free for 9 years. I can so identify with this beautiful poem because it does remind me of God's wonderful grace.
