Operation Christmas Child

It's that time of year again... time to give!

If you've never heard of Samaritan's Purse, it's a wonderful organization that hosts Operation Christmas Child every year.  You can visit their website to learn more and find out how you can get involved.

Every year, we make 2 boxes, one for a girl and one for a boy.  Jase and I made a trip to Wal-Mart today to fill our boxes.  Some of the items that we included were: toys, crayons, notepads, sunglasses, socks, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush/paste, and a hairbrush.  Everything we purchased was less than $1.00 each.  It only takes $20.00 or so to fill a box, but you can spend much more if you want!

There's no excuse why we can't do this each year.  And if you have children, please get them involved.  It makes them feel so special to be able to help other kids have a great Christmas!

And this year, if you make your donation online, you can track your boxes to see what country they arrive in.  HOW NEAT!

I hope you'll get involved.
