Now we have a new dilemma. With my oldest in team sports, we're constantly having to take his cross off because of the regulations for games, and now we keep losing it because of the constant on and off. It goes in my purse at the last minute when he rushes over before the game to give it me, and then, you know the drill. I wish someone could give me some ideas about how to handle this. These days he's not even wearing it all because of this problem.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06688151837498009252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932568289336255559.post-5697761361793282352008-12-08T05:37:00.000-06:002008-12-08T05:37:00.000-06:00This is such a beautiful and heart warming story. ...This is such a beautiful and heart warming story. I love it.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I've never had my boys wear their crosses. After baptism, the crosses went into my jewelry box. I simply don't trust them.<BR/><BR/>No one ever said anything to me about keeping their crosses on them 24/7.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10134604885671771218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932568289336255559.post-68246380120469003802008-12-07T15:55:00.000-06:002008-12-07T15:55:00.000-06:00great idea Susan Sophia - I may have to try that! ...great idea Susan Sophia - I may have to try that! I hate to tell them they can't wear them all the time - but it breaks my heart for them to loose them (I lost my baptismal cross about 10 years ago, and it still makes me sad to think it is gone).Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15559423891850170899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932568289336255559.post-87958359986102350722008-12-04T16:03:00.000-06:002008-12-04T16:03:00.000-06:00When we became Orthodox 7 years ago this Nativity ...When we became Orthodox 7 years ago this Nativity I had a 5 year old, 2 1/2 year and a one year old. Their god parents bought their crosses and HIGHLY recommended that I put them on with a cord (we used black waxed cording found at most craft stores) that was just long enough to not be tight but not too long as to catch on anything at all. They wore their crosses 24/7, never being able to remove them. They couldn't, they weren't long enough. I loved it! I felt safe doing this and have never done it any other way. They only came off when they outgrew them.Susan Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02901811709617985848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932568289336255559.post-78573146773970686712008-12-03T08:38:00.000-06:002008-12-03T08:38:00.000-06:00Glad to see a lot of people interested in giving t...Glad to see a lot of people interested in giving the right education to their children...the saint of tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>Tudor<BR/>www.sainthermanschool.orgUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13588724079989293858noreply@blogger.com
