My boys got to experience putting together an Operation Christmas child box for a child their age. It’s something I’ve been wanting to do with them for a while now because how my grandma Pearl impacted me with this tradition of hers. She would have a huge stack of boxes filled every year. Each box goes to a child across the world giving them a special Christmas. It brought me so much joy having my oldest share what we were doing with strangers in the line at Hobby Lobby. Weeks later we moved and the Church we were trying out were having a packing party. They provided everything. All we had to do was come and help pack. Eight boxes packed later my kids got the opportunity to make Christmas special for other children around the world again.
