Thoughtful Thursday.

I know Christmas can be stressful for everyone, but this year and like every year there are those who won't receive anything for Christmas. My daughter was so excited when she got the information about Operation Shoe Box.
All you do is fill a Shoe Box with things such as crayons, toothbrush, candy, toys, ect. She worked for several days getting all the items together and then wrote a note to the child (whom we don't know) and place stickers all over the outside of the box then she took it to school today.
Her school will ship all the boxes over seas to less fortunate children. I think it was such a great idea to get the kids involved in giving at Christmas time. It also helps them be apart of the Spirit of Giving.
