Instead tell your storm how big your GOD is In Phoenix, Arizona, a 26-year-old

mother stared down at her 6 year old son, who was dying of terminal leukemia.

Although her heart was filled with sadness, she also had a strong feeling of

determination. Like any parent, she wanted her son to grow up and fulfill all

his dreams. Now that was no longer possible. The leukemia would see to that.

But she still wanted her son's dreams to come true. She took her son's hand and

asked, "Billy, did you ever think about what you wanted to be once you grew up?

Did you ever dream and wish what you would do with your life?" Mommy, "I always

wanted to be a fireman when I grew up." Mom smiled back and said, "Let's see if

we can make your wish come true." Later that day she went to her local fire

department in Phoenix, Arizona, where she met Fireman Bob, who had a heart as

big as Phoenix. She explained her son's final wish and asked if it might be

possible to give her

six-year-old son a ride around the block on a fire engine. Fireman Bob said,

"Look, we can do better than that. If you'll have your son ready at seven

o'clock Wednesday morning, we'll make him an honorary fireman for the whole

day. He can come down to the fire station, eat with us, go out on all the fire

calls, the whole nine yards! And if you'll give us his sizes, we'll get a real

fire uniform for him, with a real fire hat-not a toy one-with the emblem of the

Phoenix Fire Department on it, a yellow slicker like we wear and rubber boots.

They're all manufactured right here in Phoenix, so we can get them fast." Three

days later Fireman Bob picked up Billy, dressed him in his fire uniform and

escorted him from his hospital bed to the waiting hook and ladder truck. Billy

got to sit on the back of the truck and help steer it back to the fire station.

He was in heaven. There were three fire calls in Phoenix that day and Billy got

to go out on all three calls. He rode in the

different fire engines, the paramedic's van, and even the fire chief's car. He

was also videotaped for the local news program. Having his dream come true,

with all the love and attention that was lavished upon him, so deeply touched

Billy that he lived three months longer than any doctor thought possible. One

night all of his vital signs began to drop dramatically and the head nurse, who

believed in the hospice concept that no one should die alone, began to call the

family members to the hospital. Then she remembered the day Billy had spent as

a fireman, so she called the Fire Chief and asked if it would be possible to

send a fireman in uniform to the hospital to be with Billy as he made his

transition. The chief replied, "We can do better than that. We'll be there in

five minutes. Will you please do me a favor? When you hear the sirens screaming

and see the lights flashing, will you announce over the PA system that there is

not a fire? It's just the fire department

coming to see one of its finest members one more time. And will you open the

window to his room? About five minutes later a hook and ladder truck arrived at

the hospital and extended its ladder up to Billy's third floor open window. 16

firefighters climbed up the ladder into Billy's room. With his mother's

permission, they hugged him and held him and told him how much they loved him.

With his dying breath, Billy looked up at the fire chief and said, "Chief, am I

really a fireman now?Billy, you are, and the Head Chief, God, is holding your

hand," the chief said. With those words, Billy smiled and said, "I know, He's

been holding my hand all day, and the angels have been singing." He closed his

eyes one last time. Stop telling God how big your storm is. Instead tell your

storm how big your GOD is!
