I was catholic as a child, and I believe the purpose of the god parent was to ensure that the child would be brought up in the faith. Not sure how that really applies today, but, as with any child you have aspecial relationship with, being a good role model in todays society is vital. |

I don't just talk it, I walk it. That's the important part. Let the child see you live your beliefs. be supportive. Be playful. Be dependable. Be available, and you will have made a positive impact on another human being. Most human beings want to treat others well, regardless of faith. |

I see them every weekend and I'm always available for babysitting. I just love being with them and spoiling them. Quoting: Sofiait feels like such an honor... It is an honor. A huge one! I'm saying that as a mom- that's not something I'd bestow on just anyone. It's basically saying that if anything ever happens to your little god son's mom that she is trusting YOU to be the next best thing. Congratulations to everyone! Babies are sooooo exciting! |
