One thing I can say is I’m proud of is my god-child. I’ve been in her life since the day she was born and now that she’s a teenager I continue to remain a dependable factor in her life. Some people tend to assign or pick God-Parents for their children now knowing the real meaning or purpose for a God-Parent. A God- Parent is a person who helps guide your child in religious upbringings, but they also are the ones who will adopt your child if the parents die. Another thing a God-Parent does is to provide the child with love and attention. Now, having said that for those of you who believe a God-Parent is a personal ATM to your every beck and call when you feel an itch you really don’t have the correct understanding of a God-Parent. You see God-Parents do things out of love for the child. Here is a great way to determine if you have a good God-Parent. If a God-Parent becomes aware of a need that is essential to their god child’s way of life they will spring into action without being told. A bad God-Parent won’t even care. They will miss birthdays, sports games, school residuals and if your not careful graduations. It is also important to know that not everything that is done for the God child needs to be monetary. Spending time with the child can be very important. It doesn’t matter if you live near or far. Always remember when you decided to be a God-Parent you committed to being an instrumental part in the child’s life. Phrases such as out of sight out of mind should never cross your mind and if they do then you should have never agreed to be a God-Parent. I can’t tell you how many God children you should have, but I will state this. For those who have to many and you know you can’t keep up with them please be mindful before taking on any more. Children are hurt very easily. Never make promises you can’t keep or tell them something that you can’t follow through on. Even though they may not be your child by blood the repercussion of the things you promise fall on the parent.
