I'm very happy today, why? Because I was able to pack one of these boxes! A box for Operation Christmas Child. A box filled with gifts that will be given to a child somewhere in the world, who has probably never gotten a gift before.
Whats great about this ministry is that it shows God's love to these children in a tangible way. I feel blessed to be able to give joy to a child in need. Even more so, they have the chance to hear about Jesus, and may come to know Him as Savior and Friend!
I am filled with joy! I've had the best time making this box and praying for the little girl who will receive it.
I've been stuck in the house for almost two weeks, as my blood test results weren't good so I can't be around people. (Can't risk getting sick) I've missed being at church, but making this box has brought me great happiness. I love the feeling of knowing that God has used me, its one of the best feelings in the world.
How much joy can fit into a shoebox? Quite a lot!
