Karl & I have been delivering shoebox presents to the Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child for three years. It is a wonderful organization and a growing program that provides kids who might not get a Christmas gift with a shoebox filled with presents. In looking at the newletters from Samaritan’s Purse, of the children with their shoeboxes, some of these kids live in such impoverished countries and neighborhoods that it brings tears to my eyes to know I’ve contributed something of value to them.

We have chosen girls aged 10-14 every year. I feel these are the kids I can relate to as being children who really need to know they are loved and cared for and special. These are the girls that will go on to become mothers one day and boy-oh-boy, we need to teach our young girls they have great value in this world. Their self-esteem and the benefits that gives their families will be felt for years to come. So right after Christmas, I’ll start shopping the clearance shelves for our next year’s Christmas shoe boxes.

One of the thrills I get in watching this video is seeing how happy Karl and I are. We really enjoy this activity and it shows. Don’t you just love looking at photos and movies and videos of events or holidays when you look really happy!!!

God bless us every one+
