You might wonder what packing a shoebox is all about.....well let me fill you in!
Samaritan's Purse is an organization in which our church choose for our annual Christmas ministry. It's all apart of Operation Christmas Child. This was established in 1993, were more than 100 million boys and girls in over 130 countries have experienced God’s love through the power of simple shoebox gifts from Operation Christmas Child. Samaritan’s Purse works to deliver the gifts and share the life-changing Good News of Jesus Christ.

Unfortunately, I was unable to get a picture of Thomas that morning packing and working hard to help get those boxes ready to be shipped! I had my phone playing Christmas music (which is usually my camera and eyes) and our hands were filled with wrapping paper, tape, toys, and fun goodies to stuff in those boxes!
What I would do is wrap the shoeboxes two at a time, then stop and have Thomas fill those two with all the necessary supplies and goodies, close them up and designated for which age group and gender each box was for. After all that was finished, we would then start on our next two! By the time our wrapping and stuffing group got done, we had completely filled and stuffed 47 boxes!!!!!!!
God is SOOOO good in so many ways, but the true joy of filling those boxes for these children across the world, was far morning meaningful than anything that could be wrapped under a tree! Knowing that our shoeboxes would make a difference in another childs life, was heartwarming and memorable!
