I have been volunteering to help teach AWANA (kids program) at church on wednesday nights. I don’t regularly attend church, but my son is finally old enough to actually participate in this and absolutely NEEDS some kind of outlet, so here I am. I used to teach it a couple of years ago, the 5 year olds, and enjoyed it, so I thought.. what the hey.. I’ll volunteer until classes start.
I’m not one of those Christians that are against tattoos. I am in no position to point a finger saying “you should be like this, or that, or look like this, or that”.. so I feel as though I deserve the same respect and don’t freak out when they are exposed at church (job interview or clinicals, however, WHOLE NOTHER STORY)
However, it apparently bothered some of my children. You should’ve seen their faces when I was lining them up. 1st graders.. got into a conversation about my tattoos… they thought they were temporary. Shoulda seen the looks on their faces when I told them they will not wash off.
Parent nearby and other people much older than me nearby.. looking. I love your kids like Jesus and am teaching them about Him, so, thats all that matters.
Sadly, it will be my last night volunteering for a while since nursing school starts back next week, but my lil one will still continue to participate. He loves it.
