Yes, I did. I am sure God can use a tattoo ...or a tshirt, a bumper sticker ...or a simple smile. On a sidenote ...I was in the store the other day and saw a child come in with his family on my way out ...I smiled at him as he looked at me, and it dawned on me ...he couldn't see the smile...

I understand. Just continue to pray for him. I will pray as often as this comes to mind. Did you ever resolve why you were having such a strong reaction to the anticipation of seeing him? If this is too much, feel free not to answer. When I heard from my dad in 2004 after no contact for 6...

Hello, @Mayflower ...how are you doing? I'm wondering how your visit with your dad turned out (for you and for him). Your story sounds very similar to my experience with my own dad. Maybe I will share my experience at some point.

I'm sure that a tattoo might be something that would start a conversation that could springboard into discussion about Christ. And although I have no condemnation for those who have tattoos, I would never go as far as recommending someone get a tattoo in order to be a more effective witness. I...

Yes, actually ...that's the main reason I am.not a fan of them. It was too late for me to bring that up after my loved one had already gotten a tattoo...and she already knew that verse anyway.

I guess we'll see. Lol I don't think she regrets getting it, so it's a good possibility. :)

I never thought of that... but I could probably ask her about the pain aspect now that I know. :)

Thank you .... it's been a rough journey. I know I've not really lost him ... he loved/loves the Lord and his faith was so strong. What we're experiencing is a temporary physical separation ... but we're still seated together with Christ in heavenly places. But yes .... I still cry...

No sir, lol .... I don't know why I didn't think about the pain. I just briefly processed my thoughts inside (none of them related to pain) and just listened to her relate her reason for getting it.... a very positive exchange, really.

Also, all of my children but one also inherited an artistic flair. My youngest didn't show an interest in art.... he was more mechanically inclined. (He went Home this past January... age 17.)

She never mentioned the pain one way or the other... that I remember. lol I did inherit the artist flair... but (long story) ... that kinda died over the last couple decades, although I taught art in a parochial school and did a few pieces several years ago. My teachers noticed a talent for...

Does it really feel good? I've heard people say it was painful, but never heard anyone say it feels good. lol My dad had several tattoos... he was an artist and did his own. But he didn't get them as a believer. He didn't accept Christ until 3 months before his passing.

I agree. I came to the Lord at age 13 and KJV was my first Bible. I've always loved and preferred the KJV. Never had trouble understanding it.

Yes, that is right. :) She didn't owe me an explanation, although I was glad to listen. I was more interested in her relating the struggle she had gone through that led to her decision to get the tattoo. The Lord brought her through it, and she got the tattoo as a reminder. My choice would have...

This is one I'm currently reading a lot and meditating on. I like to get a notebook and take each verse, one verse a day ...and for 3 days I will write the verse 3 times. Then I move to the next verse and do the same...every 4th day, a new verse. It's an easy way to commit scripture to memory...
