Packing Shoe Boxes With the Family

Here is a video of the family packing our Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes. My "idiot" brother-in-law filmed it... He told me to tell you that... Let me know if you need any help or have any questions about how to pack a box. Remember they are due at church on NOVEMBER 16th!!!!

The plastic shoe boxes are now on sale at Wal-Mart. The lady today told me if you go there and they are out of them on the shelf to ask for them because they have a bunch in the back.... Go now... PACK A BOX!!!!!!!

Here's an idea of what to put in there..... Crayola Crayons (rosearts stink), Coloring Book, Ball, Stuffed Animal, Jax, Marbles, Wash Cloth, Soap, Toothpaste and Brush, A Letter From You etc...

NOT TO PUT: Liquids of any kinds, perishable food, army toys, scary Halloween stuff, glass, religious literature.

Email me if you have any more questions.

I was hoping you'd wear your costume while doing the boxes!!! How many did you guys put together anyway? It looks like you had a fun time doing it!! (Oh and living in the north now, it's nice to hear the southern accents!!) ;)

Yeah for Operation Christmas Child!! I go every year to the distribution center in Charlotte to help sort through the boxes.
Maybe I'll be sorting through one of yours this year!

Great job!! Good to see you and Matt & your family 'Working For The Lord.' The fun y'all are having will be matched when the Kids open these boxes... as you well know.
Keep On Keeping On, For The Lord!!
