Just a little thought...
	At our Ladies Retreat this past year, we were given an
interesting thought about scars.  Our guest speaker was using the analogy
of a "zit" (please pardon the expression, she has two teenage
daughters!), to describe problems in our life.  What she said was this. 
When  her daughter(s) gets a "zit", she is anxious to get rid of it
anyway she can, because of the ugliness, and the embarrassment of others
seeing her "problem".  So, she takes things into her own hands, and tries
to "pop" it (again, please excuse the expression!), which leaves a scar
that is just as much an embarrassment, as what she started with.  If she
would have left things up to "nature",  the problem would have cleared up
on its own.  Now, relate that to problems in our lives!  It makes some
sense, doesn't it=)  If we left more things up to God, we would probably
have fewer scars!!
