This year, we packed 5 shoe boxes to send for Operation Christmas Child. We had a much higher goal, but will have to work on it again for next year. I get so emotional thinking about putting these boxes together. The thoughts of kids that have so little and that have never experienced a Christmas morning is overwhelming. I so wish we could do more, not just for kids around the world, but for the kids right here at home too. I've collected items for most of the year to fill the boxes, but have shopped the last couple of days to get some final things. It's so hard to decide what to put in. You have so little room to put so many needs. I hope and pray that what we send touches the heart of a little one somewhere and is used as a tool to share the love of Christ. We look forward to receiving an email letting us know where our boxes where delivered. and maybe a note from one or more of the recipients sometime in the future.
