My childhood friend Melissa Howard had an excellent post today-if I could figure out why my copy and paste wasn't working, then I would fix it and actually copy her post here. But, since I can't, I urge you to go visit her blog and read this post.
Samaritan's Purse is a very worthy charity, and they founded the Operation Christmas Child. They are also a Christian organization. I feel very strongly that this organization is a superior way to give-it's stewardship time in our church, and this is one way to donate your time, money and talents to God. Our home will be creating two boxes for a boy and girl this year.
Please read Melissa's post and consider helping out. I know I am sometimes disgusted by the amount of "stuff" we have in our house, and there are children out there that don't have TOOTHPASTE or SOCKS. It is just so sad, but so nice to know we can actually do something.
That's my soapbox for today. I want to give a shout out to my preggo sissy-I hope you are doing well and meeting your "goal!" Love ya sissy!
Happy Tuesday to you all too!
Thanks for sharing this! I wish we had the money to send something to every child in America and all over the world! It is just sad that children get excited about receiving pencils and toothpaste things that we all have tons of! I am going to the Dollar Tree and Target Dollar Section this week and get stuff. I am going to try and use coupons for soap, toothbrush and toothpaste and get some candy and treats that they would like. I think the Dollar Tree normally has bibles too. But then in the video they showed them giving the children bibles. I don't know about that though because it may go to a child or country where they don't read english? I don't know if you watched some of the videos on the website but they have a lot of good info as well and so did you tube!
