Our Christmas season begins with filling 6 shoeboxes for Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child program. It has been something to look forward to every year for at least the past 6 years! A fun thing to do with children to let them bring joy to others who do not have as much we do, here in the States. Dollar stores are great places to find lots of things for the boxes, and we generally put in:
-a washcloth and soap
-toothbrush and toothpaste
-hairbrush/comb/mirror and hairbands (for girls)
- a small bag of hard candies, and a small stuffed animal
-paper, and pencils/pens/crayons
Enough room is left for Samaritan to include a Bible and booklet.
Then its off to a far-away place to bring the love of Jesus to other children!
