Christmas Boxes

Saturday night, a group from our Sunday School class, met at Frank Starosto's home and put together 66 shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child. I believe our class goal is 100 boxes. Here are five reasons we didn't complete all 100 boxes;

1- We ran out of toothbrushes to go along with the 500 tubes of toothpaste.

2- We ran out of boxes.

3- We ran out of hairbrushes for the girls. Boys don't brush their hair.

4- I wanted to open up all of the toys and play with them but,
they wouldn't let me.

5- Frank ate all of the cheesecake.

Seriously, we had a wonderful time of fellowship and we need to do that more often. We would have our class out here but, we're afraid they may get lost. It would be our luck that half of the
class wouldn't be at church on Sunday because they would still be riding around trying to find their way home. It was very humbling to think about the little hands that would open each box
and no matter what was inside (even a box of socks) these children would be so appreciative.

We're still short a few itmes and we need to collect money for the shipping. If any of you want to help out, let Frank Starosto, Sandra Loyd or Joye Hall know. This is such a special project and I have a soft spot when it comes to the kids. As Jesus said to the disciples, "Let the little children come to me." (Matthew 19: 14)

Remember Justin today. We'll be leaving in a little while for his appointment. I love you all. Have a blessed day.
