This is the time of year that we think more about being generous, kind and compassionate. One way that we like to teach our sons is with a simple shoebox.
It is a tradition in our family to pack shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. We have been doing it for years. It is growing more meaningful each year as the boys use their own money to help buy items to fill the shoeboxes.
We pray for the children receiving the boxes for the workers who will deliver them all over the world. If the shoebox wasn’t made and sent, would that family ever know about Jesus? Your family is able to be a missionary from inside the comforts of your own home.
It is always a big deal~ shopping and packing. We always enjoy taking our boxes to Chick-Fil-A for the drop off.
