I Don't Ever Want to be a Daddy

Yearbooks were distributed yesterday and Joel was reading me the things his classmates said in response to a questionnaire.

"Mom, do you know what Iris wants to be when she grows up? A mommy."

"That's great, honey. I hope God makes her a mommy someday."

"Well, I don't ever want to be a daddy," he replied adamantly.

"Oh? Why not?" I asked.

"Cuz ! It is WAY too hard to raise a child!"

Smart boy, that Joel!
Being a daddy IS way too hard, but in God's strength and grace and for HIS glory being a daddy is also very rewarding!
