Face Tattoos

In church a couple of weeks ago, a man stood to share his testimony. He shared a quote from a film he had watched when two women were talking. One, a new mother, was talking to her friend, a married girl who was thinking of having their first baby. The friend said, "So, what it is like to be a parent?" The new mother wisely responded, "It's kind of like getting a tattoo on your face. You don't want to do it unless you are totally committed."

I would say . . . she's right. Though having children is better than getting a face tattoo . . . at least I can assume as much since tattoos are ugly and babies are beautiful . . . it is certainly something you must be committed to 100%.

That being said . . . on the days when you don't really feel like being 100% committed . . . your kids will survive. I promise.
