What Jaxon Wants.

What Jaxon Wants. 

What do you want for Christmas? A new movie, new clothes, maybe even a new car?  We all want something...think hard. 

Now I want you to write that wish down on a sticky note or a scrap piece of paper. Write it big.  "I want _____".   Stick it where you'll see it everyday. The fridge door, the bathroom mirror, your bedroom door. Wherever you'll see it, that's where I want you to put it. 

Now, think of little Jaxon. Take a good look at his picture. Print it out.  Stick it next to your post it note. Hang it up. Now, think of what Jaxon wants. 

For Christmas, Jaxon doesn't want new toys, a new movie or even a new blanket. Jaxon wants a FAMILY. That's all he's asking for, a family that will love him and care for him. A mommy to rock him to sleep at nite, a daddy to teach him how to catch a base ball. Jaxon doesn't just want a family, he deserves one.  Denied a family at birth because he was born with an extra chromosome. 

I challenge you to look at Jaxon's picture every morning, every evening...and as you look at his picture next to your want written out, think of which is more important.

Maybe you have new boots written down. How many pairs of shoes do you have already? If you're an average American, you probably have more than you need.  More clothes, electronics, toys, games, movies...

And all Jaxon wants is a family. I'm asking you to donate to his FSP. Make a donation to help his family bring him home. Make his dream come true...a family. Price out the cost of what you originally wrote down...I wrote down a pair of Vera Wang black boots...$80. Instead of buying myself those boots, I'm committing to giving $80 towards Jaxon's adoption fund. I challenge you to do the same...give the amount of your greatest "want" to help Jaxon get what he needs...a family. 

Check back on my blog each week for new ways to pray for Jaxon...here's the list for this week. 

November 1st - Pray for Jaxon's health. Pray he has a healthy heart, and that if he is fighting any type of virus or cold, that he would fight it off quickly and without any problems. 

November 2nd - Pray that Jaxon knows he is loved. Pray that when he is upset, he knows that someone loves him and is praying for him. 

November 3rd - Pray for Jaxon's caregivers. Pray that they would have a personal relationship with Jesus and that they would know how important their job truly is...caring for God's precious children. 

November 4th - Pray for Jaxon's mom. She may or may not have seen his picture yet, she may or may not know that God's plan for her is to adopt. Pray that her heart would be ready when God tells her that she is Jaxon's mommy. 

November 5th - Pray for all the kids that Jaxon shares a room with. Pray for them as they too wait for a family. Pray for these children who wait for their families to step up and say yes.
