Stretch Marks in Heaven

After a conversation I had with Ember this afternoon, I want to declare....

I believe there WILL be stretch marks in heaven!! After all, in Jesus' glorified body, the disciples could see his scars. Now I understand, they were scars that paid a price for you and me. But hear me out...we mothers paid a price to birth those babies. So there WILL be stretch marks in heaven! And C-section scars. All part of the price and the reward.

I personally don't see why people are so freaked out and upset by stretch marks/scars. You said it, Becky, we earned those marks! And who besides God and our husbands are the only ones who are going to see them anyway! If my husband wanted a perfect looking body he could go to a strip club but he loves me because of me...not my body. These stretch marks are only an added benefit!

What about chickenpox scars? Is that even how you spell chickenpox?

Chickenpox scars paid no price, Amy.

amy wright said...

Yes they did! I had to miss the circus. :)

But you got to go to Jeff's birthday party when Matt had his chickenpox!! (And he had to stay home)

I was really looking forward to my glorified body, Becky. Eh, my stretch marks aren't bad. I really have no cause for complaint. Still...
