Your Greatest Legacy

If you want your children to succeed
If you want them to be happy, show them how to be sad.
If you want them to be healthy, show them how to be sick.
If you want them to have much, show them how to enjoy little.
Parents who hide failure, deny loss and berate themselves
for weakness, have nothing to teach their children.
But parents who reveal themselves, in all their humanness become heroes.
For children look to these parents and learn to love themselves.

Give thanks for the miracle of birth
with a special baby baptism/blessing ceremony
that honors the sacredness of your baby's entrance
into the world and into your family!

Infinite Possibilities

You do not know the true origin of your children.
You call them Yours
but they belong to a greater Mystery.
You do not know the name of this Mystery,
but it is the true Mother and Father of your children.
At birth your children are filled with possibilities.
It is not your job to limit these possibilities.
Do not say, "This and that are possible for you.
These other things are not."
They will discover on their own what is and is not possible.
It is your job to help them stay open to the marvelous mysteries of life.

From the book, "THE TWELVE GIFTS OF BIRTH" by Charlene Costanzo - Harper Resources Publisher

Once upon a time, a long time ago, royal children were given twelve special gifts when they were born.  Whenever a new prince or princess was born, a fairy godmother would pronounce a noble gift upon the royal baby.  As time went on, the wise woman began to realize that the twelve royal gifts belong to every child, born anywhere.  These are the twelve gifts.

The first gift is strength.  May you call upon it when you need it.
The second gift is beauty.  May your deeds reflect its depth.
The third gift is courage.  May you speak and act with confidence and use courage to follow your own path.
The fourth gift is compassion. May you be gentle with yourself and others.  May you forgive those who hurt you and yourself when you make mistakes.
The fifth gift is hope.  Through each passage and season, may you trust the goodness of life.
The sixth gift is joy.  May it keep your heart open and filled with light.
The seventh gift is talent.  May you discover your own special abilities and contribute them toward a better world.
The eighth gift is imagination.  May it nourish your visions and dreams.
The ninth gift is reverence.  May you appreciate the wonder that you are and the miracle of all creation.
The tenth gift is wisdom.  Guiding your way, wisdom will lead you through knowledge and understanding. May you hear its soft voice.
The eleventh gift is love.  It will grow each time you give it away.
The twelfth gift is faith.  May you believe.
