Godparents are something of an anachronism nowadays.
I think that asking someone you trust to watch out for your kid is invaluable. There will come a time when Steph & I are anathema to our children, and when having another set of thoughtful, loving Christians praying for them and giving them wise counsel just seems like a no brainer.
So we thank God for the six saintly souls who look out for our girls – for the way they actively seek things to pray for them, and for their working hard to be part of their lives.
