My boys amaze me everyday, usually in a good way but sometimes in a way that makes me question my parenting skills :)
Today was one of those days that I smiled and realized that I must be something right. In the car we listen to a radio station called The Word FM. Since Thursday they have been doing a radiothon to raise money for next year. So we have been listening to this now for 3 days in the car as they are talking about the people calling in and donating and the stories of the people who listen and are affected by the station. I was telling Jaxon that earlier in the week they were having different pray themes every hour and one of those hours was for children. During that hour I had called and had someone pray for him and his brother.
So today when Jaxon got home from school he asked if he could give a donation. I said sure and called his daddy to see if he thought it would be a good idea. He said yes of course so I talked to Jaxon to see what he was thinking and he decided he wanted to give a dollar a day for this month. His birthday is in a couple of weeks so he wants to give his birthday money to the station. So I let him call and talk to the guy himself. Before he said goodbye he asked the guy if he needed more to keep the station running next year. The guy was super nice and told him that his donation will help them keep the station on the air for another year and thanked him for his willingness to give. Jaxon was so excited to have helped and that I let him do it himself. I could not believe how big his heart is. I wish I could have the child like faith to believe that what I need would be there. His birthday is not for another 2 weeks yet he believes he will get enough money to donate his pledge. I know that God is working in him and I am so thankful that He chose me and Matt to be his parents. He is a true blessing and inspiration to both of us.
Such a precious child....I just love Jaxon!! This is not the first story I've heard of him and his giving heart. I'm sure God has some AMAZING things in store for him!!!!
