"What are you wishing for this Christmas that money can't buy?"

Carson is a little friend that was in Emma's preschool class. Collin is his older brother, the one answering the question. Please pray for the healing of Carson's sweet body...read what his mommy posted on their website. All things are possible with God.


I have to share this sweet story before I close. On Thursday night I was driving home from the hospital with Collin (Ryan stayed the night with Carson) and we were listening to the radio. They had asked the question, "What are you wishing for this Christmas that money can't buy?" and viewers were calling in with different responses. So, I asked Collin that question really not sure what his answer would be. I love to ask these type of questions to my boys because they are both such deep thinkers and I am always enlightened by what they come up with. I figured Collin would take some time to really think about it and what his answer would be. Without a single second of hesitation Collin immediately said, "Mom, that is easy...for Carson's cancer to go away. That's all I really want for Christmas this year. I would scream if that happened (meaning with joy)." So, driving down 75, I am trying to contain myself with no success. The tears streamed down my cheeks and I tried to give him a response without him knowing that I had gotten emotional. We talked about how wonderful that gift would be and how we would celebrate God's grace. It is funny, Collin hasn't asked for a lot this year for Christmas. I have had to pull ideas out of him to share with grandparents, etc. But, without a second of hesitation, he shared his true heart with me and I know he was sincere. All any of us want for Christmas is Carson's health to be restored and his body to be made cancer free. So, not want Santa can do...only God!
