Day 24
Anna and Marlenee
celebrating their birthday today
What a joy and privilege it is to be a Godparent! My niece Anna isn't my Goddaughter but she's my niece and it sure feels like it. When someone asks you to be a Godparent it is such an honor. They trust that you will help their child get to heaven and in a way, they see something in you they want to foster in their own child. And in the case where it is an adult asking you to be their Godparent or Confirmation sponsor the person himself is asking for your help, guidance, friendship, love, and example to get them to Heaven. So, for all you Godparents out there, don't take it lightly! Pray for your Godchildren everyday, make an effort to be present in their lives, and don't be afraid to have deep conversations about life and spiritual matters... you were asked to be a Godparent, let God use you to the fullest in that role :)
Happy Birthday, Anna!
