Yesterday (Wednesday) Christopher (ds) was confirmed at Christ the King CC. It was a beautiful ceremony to say the least. And though it never dawn on me to ask him why he had chosen my BIL to be his Godfather, my BIL asked himself as they waited for mass to start:
****This conversation was told to me by Pepe my BIL ***
Pepe (BIL): Why did you choose me for your Godfather Chris?
Chris: Because I know you love me like a son. Because I know you can guide me in case my parents aren't with me anymore. Because you're a good Christian. And because I know I can count on you.
Pepe: Trying to hold back his tears...yes Chris I love you and know that I'll be here to listen to you, to talk to you, to give you advice, and to help you in anything I can. You are like a son to me.
Pepe: So Chris, are you in love? You seem thinner now, are you on a diet or something?
Chris: Yeah, I've been running a few days of the week. And I am in love.
Pepe: So you are huh? Who's the lucky one?
Chris: I'm in love with God...
All my life I've always thought that my Chris was a very religious child. I really did. I just didn't know the extent of his committment to the Lord...
TFL!

That is so humbling.... I am always so amazed at the depth of faith children often have. So much more so than most adults. You should be very thankful and happy:)
