It's that time of year again. The time when "Operation Christmas Child",
through Samaritan's Purse, collects shoe boxes filled with all kinds of goodies. Things like scarves, gloves, hats, crayons, small toys, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap. note pads, and other things are requested. Those shoeboxes go to children all over the world. What a tremendous blessing.
Our family loves to participate in this. The children get really excited about what they are giving and help put it all together.
This Sunday, our church is collecting all of the boxes and will later ship them off.

Carol,
This indeed is a very special ministry. Our church takes part in it every year! Such a blessing to know that somewhere, a child will be opening your carefully packed box of gifts to them.
What a wonderful way to keep the spirit of God's love alive at Christmas.

This is awesome. I have never heard of this before. Can any church participate?
We will be turning our three in this week too. I love doing this each year. Great boxes your kids made.
I too have heard of this, and what a wonderful and valuable lesson you are teaching your children.
They all look so cute, handsome, and pretty! :-)
Have a beautiful weekend.
Carol,
This is so cool. What a wonderful cause to have your children involved in at such an early age. GREAT!!!
I love the pic of all five of them on the couch, part of them bare foot. So cute!!
Have a Blessed weekend,
Dawn
We love doing that too! I love that you wrap the shoe boxes! I always just buy them at the dollar store. So much more creative on your side!
I love that cause...it is so awesome! My church back in MI does it and miss that our church out here does not. Great job kids!
An absolute blessing!
Loved the photos of the children.
