Operation Christmas Child is one of my favorite ministries, the ministry update video makes me cry each time I see it. The fact that a little box can make such a difference in a child's life is so beautiful to me. Check out this link to learn more about this amazing ministry.

We took the kiddos shopping to fill their boxes last Wednesday before Awana. We shopped for one little boy and one little girl. Then Saturday afternoon we packed our boxes so that they would be ready to deliver to Church on Sunday. We cant wait to track our boxes online and pray for the little boy and girl that will receive them.
This can be such a busy time of year for many and has become SO VERY COMMERCIALIZED. We try to take time with our family to truely savor the meaning of the season, the birth of our Savior. This is one of the ways that we try to make Christmas about Christ. We hope to shower our Savior with gifts that our pleasing to Him.
