The girls and I spent the evening shopping, wrapping and filling our shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child. The twins each selected a girl between the age of 5 to 9 years old. They carefully went through the store imagining what the little girl would feel like when she opened her box filled with Christmas treasures for her own and we talked about how God uses some people to help other people. They each shared their pride for being able to make this small effort and realizing what a huge impact it would make on Christmas morning. I couldn't help but feel happy that my girls understand that you don't have to be a grown up to extend help to others. If you would like to fill a shoebox go to http://www.samaritanspurse.org/ for more information.
