Christmas Shoe Boxes

Child's World was collecting Christmas shoe boxes for children in the Ukraine and who live in the mountains of North Georgia.  Before we found this out I had told Jason that I would like for us to participate in Operation Christmas Child this year, but then this came along so we decided to help out with it.  Raleigh was very helpful when we went to pick everything out.  We kept explaining to her that we were getting things for boys and girls who didn't have toys like she does to play with and their parents can't go buy it for them for Christmas.  The main lesson we tried to teach her in all of this is that this is what Christmas is all about and we give to others because Jesus gave so much to us.  Hopefully some of it sank in and she'll remember it again when we start talking more about Christmas!
