Dear vladushka,
May God be with you!
I couldn't agree more! If you are a Godparent, you have a right to influence your godchild. Every summer, my three nieces come to stay with me. Every summer I plan several gifts or talks about our faith and Christ. This year, I gave each of them their own bible like my own (RSV 2nd Ed Catholic) along with their own bible cover. (Christian book store on-line has many great and very inexpensive bible covers!!!!)
We must show by example #1
We must encourage them #2
We must read with them #3
I bought three bibles through the Christian Book store for my two girls and myself (Precious Moments RSV Catholic) and book covers and marking pencils. When we read, we can all go to the same verse on the exact same page! My girls like marking passages that have meaning to them. (although my six year old will ask me which passage she should mark because she is just starting to read) My 8 year old loves Psalms!! I can't tell you how I just fill with love of Christ when they read!!!!!
Start them early, Do it with them, show how much Joy YOU get from it!
God bless you!
