My children
are blessed with wonderful godparents.
And these godparents are exactly what I wished for -- people who are role
models for my children and who help them grow.
Recently, one
of my children had to sell raffle tickets for school. He wanted to sell them to several adult
friends who would be easy to see on short notice. I remembered that one of the godmothers had
said that children should take the lead in these types of efforts, so I told my
son that if he wanted her to buy a raffle ticket, he would have to call her
himself. We practiced what he would say
and then he called her at work. Gracious
as ever, she agreed to buy two tickets and said that we could stop by her
office as she was working that evening.
When we stopped by her office, she told my son that she was going to buy
three tickets. He was thrilled. My son and I both appreciated her generosity,
but I also appreciated that she helped my son take a couple of steps outside
his comfort zone.
