Do you have God Parents for your Child and you are not Catholic? What does it mean to you? What do you do if the God parents are no longer active in the child's life or no longer Serving God?

That is a good question. My son has godparents and we chose them carefully. They were christians that we looked up to. In fact the godfather mentored my husband in his walk with the lord. Him and his wife became the godparents and they were thrilled to be asked. If they walked away from the lord or didn't acknowledge my child I would have a hard time having them continue there role. They have been an awesome constant in Cody's life.

We are Lutheran, and our children have Godparents - although our church refers to them as sponsors. It is very important that you choose these people carefully, not just to be nice or because you are friends. The sponsors role is very important - to pray daily for the spiritual welfare of this child, to see to it that in the absence of their parents they continue in the faith. We are also godparents ourselves to 3 beautiful children, a responsibility we take seriously. I have no experience with sponsors leaving the faith so I can't address that issue.
Your purpose of Godparents is the same as ours. Thank you for your answer.
Yes my son has Godparents (one of them is the dear writer of this very blog), her husband by marriage (he kind just gets appointed because of his marriage to her), and my dear friend who lives in OK. We also have another Godfather in mind that is a dear friend of my husband's. All of these people are Christians. They were choosen by us with great care, as we are asking them to help guide and raise the most precious gift that God has given to us, our son. We choose these people because they are strong in their christian walk and will be strong, Christian role models for our son. Ones whom he can turn to in his times of confussion and need. They are an extended part of our family and love them all very dearly.
Great Question Jennifer!!!
