It's Not Too Late!
One of our favorite holiday traditions is packing a shoebox full of goodies for a needy kid around the world. We do this through Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child. This is a terrific organization who meets spiritual as well as physical needs. Every child who receives a box will be taught about Jesus. I was just looking on their website and they are still taking donations if that is something you are interested in doing.
It was even more fun this year because Makayla is old enough to kind of get the idea that the box is going to another child far away who may not even have toys. She gave a teddy bear a bit of love before putting it in her box.
Elijah enjoyed packing his box too...although the lid did not quite want to go on.
I know the economy is not good. It seems like all ministries are hurting financially. But we are still so blessed and if one kid could come to know Christ because of a simple shoebox, it is all worth it. If you are interested in knowing more, you can check it out at www.operationchristmaschild.org.
