Operation Christmas Child

Before Rahul and I were married, we always enjoyed participating in Operation Christmas Child. Now, it is something that we like to do with our kids each year. We feel it is vitally important to teach them about reaching out to others with the love of Christ, to meet the needs of others and to look at this season as more than a time of getting, but as one where we can and should give and give and give, because of what Christ has given us!

This year the boys decided they wanted to make a box for a girl (because they had such a good time playing with Parker and Greer in Tallahassee and in honor of Mitike' our little adopted girl through World Vision)!
So, they picked out a bag full of stuff
maybe too much stuff...
and put together this package for a little girl somewhere on the other side of the world!

We do OCC too!! Caroline was really into the shopping aspect and not so much the packing. We do a boy and a girl our kids age. I agree. It is a great way to help our kids look outward.
