Nothing puts me in the Christmas mood better than shoeboxes from Operation Christmas Child. This is the 15th year our family has personally done shoeboxes and what so fun is the finding out friends have had involovement at their churches as well. The relay center our church brings boxes to is run by my friend Diane. It's great to be able to see her! (The photo here is of Diane and I as I was bringing the boxes in to be counted and processed)
This year we were blessed to be able to put together 259 shoeboxes! That's 259 children that will have a smile on their face this Christmas. 259 Children that will be able to hear about the good news of Jesus because of the geneorsity of some wonderful people.

I so love Operation Christmas Child. I was sick this year so we donated money, but since my son was 3 we started taking him to pick out things for his shoebox. He loves to go shopping for it every year and we really missed it this year. Hopefully I will be healthy once again next year and we can continue on.
