A Neat Story

The other day Matt ran into an old friend of ours. The guy asked about Operation Christmas Child, and if we were still packing shoe boxes.  Of course Matt told him yes, and the guy pulled out 40 dollars and said pack some boxes for me. 

Well, we have already taken them from the church, but we are going back to the warehouse on Saturday, so.... I just figured we could take them then.

Rewind to a week ago..... An all boys group that I am helping out with needed a service project. I suggested OCC... They loved the idea and started collecting stuff for the boxes. There are 11 boys in the group so our goal was to get enough stuff for 11 boxes.

Today they turned their stuff in. I was so proud of all they brought... and it was good stuff, but they only brought enough for 7 boxes... 

Amazingly and Divinely however, I just happened to have 40 dollars that someone donated for shoe boxes... I can fill a box for 10 dollars... sooooo...

7 boxes... plus 40 dollars = 4 more boxes... which equals 11 boxes total...for 11 boys who were wanting to fill boxes.... WOW!!!!

Ain't He just Good!!!
