It's that most wonderful time of the year folks! Time to pack shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child. Last year 8 million children received a shoe box filled with gifts and hygiene items, along with the message of the love of Jesus. I ♥ this organization! Please consider making up a box to send, donating your time at your local collection center or even donate online. We have so much and it is so easy to give.
I usually pick up a sturdy, clear plastic shoe box at the dollar store at the end of the summer and start filling it as I buy back to school supplies for my kids. My kids enjoy filling it with me, and we're signed up for a time slot at our church to help pack the boxes into shipping boxes that will go onto the tractor trailers. It's a blessing to be able to bless others, and to teach this to my kids is huge in my book.

We make them every year as well. We usually make one per child and each chooses whether to do a boy or girl, and the age range we're aiming at. It's such a great way to share the love of Christ with those less fortunate, and teach so much to our kids.
