Hello everyone, happy new year once again. We are good to go this year...2025. Having a new born baby in every home is a joyful occasion. We all know that babies are not born into the same homes daily. It's a journey of nine good months before a baby or babies can be delivered or added to families, therefore the arrival of babies or a baby are never taken for granted. I know before the arrival, the parents would have prepared to welcome their bundle of joy!!
Whenever babies are born into families, joy saturates everywhere, laughter and ceremonies are inevitable, appreciations to both God, people and a show of gratitude are often seen all around the family or the environment. Friends, well wishers, good neighbors, relatives are informed and many of them will come with gifts of dignity, different gift items are presented for the upkeep of the baby.
For me as the guardian mother or if I'm made a guardian to this new life of joy, i will give that baby two gift items. I will intentionally give the parents some amount of money that can be used to open an account in the bank with the name of that baby that as he or she grows, the amount would have increased. By the time he or she is up to eighteen years of age, i mean the age of accountability, the money will be useful to start a good life for him or her.
Another most important thing i can achieve in the life of that new born baby is to actually teach that baby how to live his or her life for God. Getting the knowledge and reverence for God, the creator of heaven and earth and all that is within it is as needful as life itself. Myself being the guardian, it's a responsibility levied on me to lead the baby aright. These two choices are my valuable and expensive gifts to the new life..... Hopefully it's going to make him or her responsible.
Everybody comes with whatsoever that appeals to them to show their joy and the acceptance of the new life into that family and also into the world.
As was done to baby Jesus when he was born in a manger. The three wise men from the east came to show their grateful heart, kindness and gratitude that a son was born. They never came empty handed rather with expensive gifts of Gold, Myrrah and Frankincense with it's alluring perfume smell for the precious baby signifying their love and revernce, acceptance of the arrival of the new born baby. That traditional visit is still a new story till today, despite that it happened hundreds and thousands years ago.
The same method is obtainable in our world today, from the date of the baby's birth to that very eight days that the baby is due for his or her naming ceremony and circumcision, if he is a boy, gifts will be coming for the baby's upkeep even after that.
Quality Prayers will be rendere upon the baby and family. Godly declarations are poured on her. Like your name shall not be found in the register books of armed rubbers, prisoners, kidnapping gangs, you will never die prematurely, but fulfil the number of your year and your destiny.
People give according to their choices and capacity, that's per as their money is capable of buying. Some usually give the baby diapers, baby bodysuit, baby body accessories, some money through the parents. At this time colour is important if you are giving clothes, baby girls are for pink colours while baby boys are for sky blue or pure blue colours.
In conclusion, i will love giving the baby through the parents these two gifts i mentioned above that are able to build the baby up and make quality meaning into his or her life now and in the future.
I appreciate everyone taking out time to read through, please comment and do the needful on my post.
Thank you all and have a nice weekend.
