I'm working on a new book titled "Wish Box"
We all have "wished" for something! We wish on bright stars, birthday candles, wishbones, and we even throw pennies into a fountain--just in the hopes that our wish could come true.
I am curious. If a person could have only ONE wish granted...what would they wish for?
I invite you to read the wishes of others and to make a wish while you're here.
You can remain anonymous if you'd like, all I ask is that you take a moment to answer the question as honestly as you can. You can write whatever you wish.
Thank you for your participation!
I look forward to hearing what you secretly "wish" for!

If I could just have one wish, I would have given you a longer last kiss.
If I had one wish, I wouldn't have dropped out of school a month before I graduated. I could be someone, instead, I am a bill collector.
Thank you for your posts...I have tears in my eyes.
If i had one wish it would have to be that i never led her to a life of horrible people and knowing that i can not protect her any longer...
If I could have one wish, I would wish to be able to say all the things I should've said a long time ago.
If i could just have one wish it would be to have my hearing back. I lost it after a car accident. I miss music.
If I had a wish, It would be that 911 wouldn't have happened.
If I could have one wish, I would wish to see life through the eyes of my 3 year old niece. She views everything with such enthusiasm and determination. It's truly a blessing to watch her take on life in her own way.
this is an amazing and thought provoking venture. i wish you nothing but the best,
your trenton
i wish i wouldn't have pushed my daughter away.
WOW. I am humbled by all of the support everyone is showing for this project. Thank you all so much!
I wish he loved me again. I wish he ever did.
I wish my dad could have lived long enough to teach me how to be a man...a husband...a father. 12 years was not enough time with him.
i wish i could be strong enough to walk away and be on my own....
i wish that we could find a way to be together... i hope that one day my wish will come true
if I had one wish, my husband would fall back in love with me the way that I am with him.
I wish that I had not told my best friend I wish he would die. I never was able to see him again, not even at his funeral, for the wreck was so bad his casket was closed.
If I could have one wish, I would wish that my mom's best friend never died in a car accident.
i wish i had never changed for him, because now i don't even know myself anymore
If I could have just ONE WISH, it would involve truly accepting that the girl of my dreams wanted to spend the rest of her life with me. Instead, I pushed her away. As for my wish, I wish I was not scared of commitment.
(This is a great idea for a book and I look forward to buying it off the shelves!)
This question has consumed me for days now, it's pretty much all i can think about. This is the conclusion i've come to, if i could have just one wish, it would be that i would have fought a little harder to keep her near me. now all i have is a great story about the one that got away.
If I Had One Wish…..
I’m not certain exactly when it all began. I do know that this passion within me remains overwhelming. Twelve years ago, God “called” me to full-time youth ministry.
I knew then, He was drawing me to a completely different focus other than being a stay-at-home mom and wife. After working as a youth minister for a year, God eventually provided a position as The Minister of Students at a small private Christian school in town.
Throughout the past twelve years, I have come in contact with hundreds of hurting teens. Lost. Lonely. Broken. Misunderstood. Abused. Frightened. Resentful. Angry. Rebellious youth. The list goes on and on. All of them, however, were searching for one key ingredient in their lives. That one thing was God.
So many needs. So many situations. So many broken hearts, yet how can one person like me repair them all? I can’t. But I can tell them who can.
If I had one wish, I would open a “Rescue Center.” I would provide a place of refuge where teenagers could come and find the help they need. A place where HOPE is not just a four letter word. A place of healing and restoration. A place where the love of Christ accepts all and repairs the broken, cures the hurting, and assures the uncertain. A “Rescue Center” where youth could find hope for tomorrow with the message of salvation through faith in Jesus. A place that allows any individual a new life despite the road they’ve traveled. My one wish would simply be to give life back to the desperate and the dying. His name is JESUS……
This is an ingenious idea for the collection people's inner thoughts in a book! Thanks for letting me know about it.I cant wait till it hits the shelves!
If I could just have one wish, It would be to be able and really live life. I feel like I am always held back by boundaries that I put up. I always feel like I have to do everything perfect all the time.
I wish for two things on one star. My daughter to be healthy and to have enough money to take care of my parents.
I wish I could forgive my mother. I just feel like it has been so long of a journey. I don't know how I can begin.
If I had one wish...
I wish I could be a kid again. I would love to go back through it and really enjoy it.
If I had one wish, I would live in another time. I would have loved to be in my teens in the fourties.or maybe the sixties.Anywhere else in time....
I wish I could be a superhero in a graphic novel. But that from my perspective I would still look like I was drawn. That would be so cool. I could really save the world. I wish I could have my wish!
I wish I could sing.I am so envious of people who can.
I wish to be able to travel the world with my mom who has never had the opportunity to do it herself as a thanks for the sacrifices she's made for her family.
if i had one wish...id wish that no children would ever go hungary
I wish for me and my family to stay healthy and stay close to one another always..
AND
I wish I could travel to every place I have ever wanted to go before I die..lol
If I could have one wish, it would be that I could be like everybody else.
I wish my spouse wasn't lying to me.
I had a great childhood and I took it for granted. I love my parents, and I wish that I could smile with them everyday.
If I had one wish, I would leave him and spend forever with you.
id wish to go back in time and do it all over again.
I wish I would have never told you I love you. It gave you power.
I am convinced our "one wish" changes constantly, sometimes seemingly daily throughout our life. My wishes have certainly changed over the years based on current events, circumstances & people that are having an impact on my life. I have endeavored to refine my "one wish" to an attitude that will hopefully leave a positive, lasting impact upon those with whom I come in contact. Simply stated, my "one wish" is that my friends, family & loved ones will always be able to look to me & up to me. Admittedly, my "one wish" may, in essence, be a goal, but I consider it to be one worth striving to attain. And, if it is truly a good wish, shouldn't I accept the challenge of trying to make it become a reality?
I always wish for so many things... Romance, a career, wealth, happiness, more time with friends whom I rarely get to see, the ability to reconnect lost friendships, etc... The list can go on for days. It is when something truly tragic happens that I begin to put my priorities into perspective. I look around the world and see poverty, hunger and depression. I see people who find their lives so horrible they don't believe they deserve to be here, I see millions dying of a Swine Epidemic, I see men, women and children lying on the streets covered in Newspaper, I see babies being murdered and children being molested... And here I sit in my comfortable surroundings not being slightly affected (personally) by any of this... Then I realize, I should not be so selfish to waste a wish on myself. I should realize that, while there are things I believe I deserve and will acheive, there are so many others out there more deserving of wishes and miracles. So, I wish for those suffering, lost, and hungry to hear their wishes heard. I wish for those of us who are far better off in this world to reach out and help those in need more often than we do. I wish for what some may say is a lost cause, even though we have the ability and the means to help in every way possible. I wish for a better them, a better us, a better you and a better me.
I wish that her and her obsession couldn't stop me from living.Now i believe that Love will never find me.
if i could have one wish,
i would be a child once more.
I'd wish for there to be no more lies in this life, so I'd know if he was as sincere as I want him to be...
I wish that I had A friend besides the one in my head.I fear that I am always going to live this way...a sad lonely man...
I wish I could just blink it all away.
I wish that I could live closer to my sister and her family so we could watch our children grow up together. Pictures are nice, emails are ok, but to be able to give and recieve hugs would be GREAT! I miss you sis.
I wish I could've seen Michael Jackson in concert before he died.
I wish I could have taken more time with you. I rushed through the most important thing we'll ever do together.
I miss my big brother. I wish he could come back. I hate war and I hate to see my mom cry.
I wish My dad could have lived to have seen this day. A palm-sized hand-held cellphone with a computer inside that takes pictures and video!!!!
I wish there were more butterflies. What a beautiful world this would be if people would stop pointing their fingers at human flaws and pay more attention to embracing the beauty that is flying over their heads!
I wish that i didnt have the need to get numbed,I feel like this will never end..no matter how much I want it to.
I would wish for comfort and peace to those who are needing an answer.
I wish I would've looked... before I leaped.
If I had one wish, the doctors would come in and tell her that they read the wrong results and she doesn't have bone cancer.
I wish we could go somewhere new and start over too. I understand just how you feel.
I wish you would have stayed with me. I'm hurting over you...still. I'm scared and now that you're back I don't know what to do.
I wish you well. I really do.
I would wish for a better job. I hate how mean my boss is.
I wish fir the end.
If I had one wish, it would be that everyone here could get their wishes and be happy.
I wish I could change the world.
I wish I wasn't afraid to go out in public. I'm afraid of people.
If I had just one wish it would be to take my daughter into my arms, hold her tight, smell her hair, kiss her cheek and tell her how much my heart misses her since she when home to Heaven. She chose to die at home after battling a very rare cancer. January 22, 2011 at 1:17 a.m. she woke me up to tell me goodbye.... she passed away as I was coming down the stairs. I got to kiss her as she exhaled her final breath.
