Operation Christmas Child
just a reminder for those of you who pack shoeboxes ... the time is soon approaching ... national collection week in canada is november 5-10 ... in the US it is november 12-19 ...
click here: samaritans purse ... to find the collection spot in your area and brighten the day of a child who normally doesn't get gifts ... this small act of kindness is such a huge blessing to the heart of the giver!
We have done this quite a few times and it is a blessing. It's so fun to see how much you can pack in a shoebox and imagine the joy of the child who gets that gift!
Thanks for posting this...my church does not do this...we are adopting amissionary family that has 11 children for Christmas... but I think that I can go ahead and do this..then drop it off somewhere.... Deby
mimi ... they are fun to do! and a blessing to one and all ...
heb 11:1 ... hello to you all! :o) ... life is busy and everyone is doing "o.k." ... we so appreciate your prayers!!
mari ... i would love to see their expressions too ... it blesses my heart!
Deby ... that is great re the missionary family you guys are adopting ... :o) ... the shoeboxes are a one time event for whoever gets them - so they are quite special too, i think!

Thanks for the reminder... we haven't gotten our boxes at our church yet... so I need to remind them that it is time to get on board...
Hi, sweetie!
Sister keeps asking me to come by, so here I FINALLY am ;) We think of you often, and your husband, and Squeaks. How is your sister doing?
God bless you richly,
LPP and LMG
