Hasta el momento tengo 3 ahijados y 3 ahijadas por religión, unos ya han crecido y han hecho familia, incluso están fuera del país y a otros aun los veo acá, el contacto siempre se mantiene. He visto que algunas personas seleccionan los padrinos dependiendo de su status económico, he escuchado tantas historias de chicos que nunca vieron a la madrina o al padrino al crecer, sólo en la foto si acaso tienen una.
Ser madrina para mi es un rol de importancia en la vida de un niño, significa orientarlo para que no se desvíe del camino y mantenga su fe en Dios, afianzar los valores en el porque esto permitirá que crezca sanamente y pueda distinguir entre el bien y el mal. Estar allí cuando lo necesite para escuchar y aconsejar.
Welcome to my blog in Hive, my space full of anecdotes, reflections, a touch of nature and all my love for writing. Today I share my experiences from the beautiful community of Maternidad. Before becoming a mother I experienced being godmother to some boys whom I adore, but beyond religion for me it has been an honor that their parents chose me to be their guide during their growth.
So far I have 3 godchildren and 3 goddaughters by religion, some have already grown up and have made family, they are even out of the country and others I still see here, the contact is always maintained. I have seen that some people select godparents depending on their economic status, I have heard so many stories of children who never saw the godmother or godfather when they grew up, only in the photo if they have one.
Being a godmother for me is an important role in the life of a child, it means to guide him not to deviate from the path and keep his faith in God, to strengthen the values in him because this will allow him to grow up healthy and can distinguish between good and evil. To be there when he needs it to listen and advise.
Tres de estos ahijados son mis sobrinos, a los dos mayores los he visto crecer sanamente, ya uno de estos está casado y pronto será padre, en nochebuena compartí con ellos, siendo Liam el más pequeño y un terremoto de travesuras, su bautizo fue muy lindo, un evento que unió a la familia a pesar de profesar religiones distintas pero los lazos de sangre y amor nos fortalecen.
Soy madrina de corazón, muchos estudiantes me dicen así porque quieren hacerlo, son chicos a los que ayudé en momentos dificiles, los que iban a mi pequeño salón o me detenían en los pasillos de la institución para contarme lo que para ellos eran grandes problemas pero que con un abrazo y una sonrisa muchas veces se solucionaba.
Ser madrina o padrino es una gran responsabilidad que la persona decide asumir, muchos no le dan importancia y sólo están presentes en el evento religioso o social; termina siendo sólo un compromiso del día pero no debe ser así. Esta debe ser una experiencia hermosa tanto para los padrinos como para los ahijados que recuerden toda su vida. Mas significativo aún cuando es el niño quien te elige, podrás zafarte de la responsabilidad que implica esta propuesta ante un padre pero te aseguro no será así con un niño, porque este lo hará sinceramente.
Nunca seremos la madrina de los cuentos de hadas con esos poderes mágicos pero si con el poder de influir en la vida de nuestros niños de una manera positiva, brindarles cooperación y amparo, ayudarlos a alcanzar sus metas y lo más importante brindarles ese cariño que muchas veces les falta. De ti, de tu compromiso, dependerá como te recordarán tus ahijados, recuerda que este rol te ha sido asignado y debe ser visto con respeto, gracias por leer.
Three of these godchildren are my nephews, the two older ones I have seen them grow up healthy, one of them is already married and soon will be a father, on Christmas Eve I shared with them, Liam being the youngest and an earthquake of mischief, his baptism was very nice, an event that united the family despite professing different religions but the ties of blood and love strengthen us.
I am a godmother of heart, many students tell me so because they want to do it, they are kids that I helped in difficult moments, those who came to my small classroom or stopped me in the corridors of the institution to tell me what for them were big problems but that with a hug and a smile often solved.
Being a godmother or godfather is a great responsibility that the person decides to assume, many do not give it importance and are only present at the religious or social event; it ends up being only a commitment of the day but it should not be like that. This should be a beautiful experience for both godparents and godchildren that they will remember all their lives. Even more significant when it is the child who chooses you, you can get rid of the responsibility that implies this proposal to a parent but I assure you it will not be so with a child, because he/she will do it sincerely.
We will never be the godmother of fairy tales with those magical powers but we will have the power to influence the lives of our children in a positive way, to provide them with cooperation and support, to help them achieve their goals and most importantly to give them that love that they often lack. How your godchildren will remember you will depend on you, on your commitment, remember that this role has been assigned to you and must be seen with respect, thank you for reading.
