It happens every year! I don't know why it still takes me by surprise. I really thought that this year I wouldn't have enough filled shoeboxes to be close to last years total of 200. But as of tonight, I have 185 filled shoeboxes, stuff to fill 25 more, and I still have money to buy a lot more! So, by the end of our project, I have no idea how many we will have! It's so exciting to witness the love and generosity of people.
Tonight the youth filled most of the boxes. It was somewhat tedious and they were somewhat squirrelly but I know that underneath all of that they felt really great about what they did tonight. And, it's great to give them ways to help others right now rather than saying what do you think you want to do when you are older. They are making a difference right now!
So, where was God today? He was with us as we packed shoeboxes to help spread His love.
Blessings,
Jennifer
