We have been active participants in Operation Chirstmas Child for a while now, and since Elena's birth we have designated a shoe box specifically from her for her age group. We make a point to shop together for that little girl and as we pack it up and wrap it we talk about the importance of sharing and giving, and what God says about that. As she grows we hope this will make an impression on her, that this will be another opportunity where she will learn to love others and to want to give to those in need, and to be thankful for what God has given us. Most important; we remember the best gift is the birth of Christ Jesus who came to earth to save us through His birth, death and resurrection, and that in doing for others we share and glorify Him.
Below is a link you can go to in order to learn more and possibly join in as well. We hope this post will inspire others to be a part of this. The more the merrier!
"Operation Christmas Child is a great way to bring joy and the Good News of Jesus Christ to Children in need of Hope." - Franklin Graham, President of Smaritan's Purse
