As we are approaching the most wonderful time of year, Christmas, I want you to remember all the children that will not be able to celebrate Christmas this year. What if I told you, you and your family could make a difference? You can absolutely. My dad works for Samaritans Purse and has for a few years. We live here in the town of Samaritans Purse and it brings me great joy to tell you about Operation Christmas Child.
Please take just 5 minutes and watch this video. Also go ahead and watch the others if you would like.
It just warms my heart to see these kids faces when they get their shoe box. As I was in the Samaritans Purse warehouse a couple months ago talking with the HR person, he took me on a tour. It was bringing me to tears. I told him the song, “I can only imagine” comes to my mind when I think of these wonderful children opening their box. I am very excited to volunteer with the shoe boxes this year. Also, of course the girls and I will be filling a couple shoe boxes this weekend to take part in this extra oridnary event.
Please if you will, take some time this week and weekend and fill a shoe box with your family. There are national collection centers all over the US. I am sure there is one right in your hometown. Next week is National Collection week and then all the shoe boxes will be coming here to be all sorted through. That is where I will volunteer. For more information on how you can fulfill a child’s wish this Christmas, please go here. If I can help in anyway, just let me know. Please leave a comment below if you will be taking part in this, this year. Also if you would please help spread the word on your blog. Let’s make this year the biggest year yet at Operation Christmas Child!!!!!
God Bless everyone in this wonderful Holiday season 🙂
Thanks for sharing this Jen. I remember hearing about it one year and thinking how awesome it would be for Caleb and I to do it. So I’ll be checking this out.

My Mom does this every year. I think I might join in. We’re pinching every penny but I bet I could still do this.
