1285

1285 is the total number of shoe boxes that we took up this year. I am really proud considering that lots of people have been in a pinch this year. I can only imagine how happy at 1285 kids will be in just a few months when their little box arrives. Join me as you read in praying for the boxes... I can only imagine the journey they go on. From my car, to a truck, to a bigger truck, to a warehouse, to a volunteer's hands, to a forklift, to another truck, to an airplane, to a canoe, camel, or jeepney, into the hands of a child who the Lord selected to receive it. Its amazing huh? If you didn't do a box there is still time. They will be receiving them at FBNS (email if do not know) this week til 5 each day. Remember... It's not just a box; It's a child.

I like the frog background and that is awesome about the shoeboxes! We had a soccer tournament this weekend and didn't finish our boxes - I'm glad you posted that you can still drop them off this week elsewhere bc I was going to email you!
