Being a Godmother

Godmothers are like second mothers to other people you sponsor in baptism, confirmation and wedding. If you have been blessed enough to be asked as a godmother, take pride and joy in it because being a godmother is a blessing.

I have a lot of godchildren from baptism rites. Few weeks ago, I have been promoted to the next stage of sponsoring. I am now a godmother for a confirmed child and I am happy to stand as a second mother to this kid because I know I can share and show good example and give guidance to the child as I would my own.

I remember many years ago about my own confirmation when I stood in front of the bishop and vowed to always accept the Holy Spirit in my heart. The role was reversed lately. I was standing on the sponsor side to witness the confirmation of my daughter's friend in school. I soaked in the atmosphere of being a sponsor this time. And I listened intently to the celebrant's homily and imbibed the words of Christ.

I am proud to stand as a godmother because I know I fit the bill to be a mom. It is something I will cherish each time a family member or friend asks me to become a godmother to their child. It is an honor and I will gladly accept the role.

Gospel Music

I enjoyed the recent church mass service I attended when I stood as a godmother to my daughter's friend in the Sacrament of Confirmation. I loved the atmosphere so much, so serene and yet you can feel the happiness around the kids being confirmed to the faith.  I listened to the gospel music played by the choir. I am very impressed on the technology the music industry has brought to the modern times.

The choir have top of the line string instruments, organs, tech 21 power engine amplifiers, wireless mics and surround speakers. The songs they played were heightened because of these hi-tech musical accessories which were not even present when I was growing up.

These modern gadgets in the music world surely made music better, if not, best in one's auditory experience a very pleasant one. And what's more satisfying not just in one's hearing but in one's soul were the beautiful gospel songs played by the choir. I feel the lyrics touched my heart as the songs made me feel serene.
