Something to Think About
Go... Make a Difference

Let us not become weary in doing
good, for at the proper time we will
reap a harvest if we do not give up.
(Galations 6:9)

Calling All Shoeboxes!!

By MAD21

The time is drawing near for Operation Christmas Child (Samaritan's Purse) to begin collecting those shoeboxes. Don't know what that means? Read: "The Graham's and Samaritan's Purse," "Got Boxes?" "A Boy Who Overcame Terrifying Events," or go straight to OCC.

The blog Becoming Last just posted a YouTube video of a boy who had just received his box. If you haven't ever packed a box in the past because you didn't think it mattered much, go watch this child's joy before he's even opened it. It will change your mind.

A new really cool thing this year? They now have the ability to track some of the boxes, so you can find out  where your shoebox ended up!

Now, go to the OCC site to find out where your nearest drop off location is, get a bunch of friends and family together and have a box party. Get packin'! Make a Difference in a child's life.
