Our Ministry this Christmas



This year, we are joining in the Operation Christmas Child giving program, through our church. This was an excellent way to teach Peter about the art of giving and what a great example Jesus was, and what he gave to US! It took him a couple days, of seeing all the presents sitting on the counter, in a shoebox, to understand that these gifts for for another chid, that he has never met. . . and they were NOT for HIM! But, he is beginning to understand this idea very well, and we are proud of him for that.

We did a Christmas Child box too...the girls actually picked out everything to go in it from Target (with a little guidance from Mommy). Emma was visibly shocked when I explained that there are little ones in the world who don't have money to go buy a hat and mittens in the winter, never mind toys. They put the stuff in the box and decorated it and Emma personally carried it into church. I hope it got them thinking...
