Operation Christmas Child / Samaritan's Purse

I got this fun Christmas idea from another one of my fabulous neighbors, Jodi.....also a great friend! Jodi is the kind of friend who will be there. She always answers her phone when you call. She's the friend who picks you up and takes you and your child to the pediatrician when you can't find your keys and you're gonna be late for your appointment. Then she'll come back and dig through your trash with you until you find them. She's honest and tells you exactly how she feels. She'll give you her opinion and I love and admire that about her, cause I'm not always so outspoken like that. I've had moments when I needed to hear a different perspective and she didn't tell me what I wanted to hear ( like most people will do)....she told me what I needed to hear. It was so helpful! She's a woman who is devoted to God, her husband and her family. Just a few things I love about her! Hahaha....but on to the great idea that I'm snagging from her.....


So, Jodi just had her baby #3 and I was visiting the other day, holding her precious little boy. She was going to Target to get some items to fill their "Christmas Boxes." So, I just had to ask...They were filling shoe boxes with little items for a boy and / or girl, wrapping the shoe box and then sending it in to Samaritan's Purse for Operation Christmas Child. I think we'll have to try this as Christmas approaches!
She shared the link with me.....
