The Gift of Giving

Posted in Holidays, and Thoughts

Have you ever noticed that when you give of yourself or give a gift from the heart, you, the giver, benefit? Today, we finished wrapping up more shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child. Munchkin joyfully wrote letters to include in each of the shoe boxes hoping that just maybe she’ll get a response from one of the recipients. She would think about how the child would feel about each of the items placed in the boxes.

As we were getting ready…
