Service


We believe there is nothing else like serving others. Both my husband and I try to instill in our girls the importance of service. We pray that they be the hands and feet of Christ. Yesterday we were honored by being able to help stuff soldier boxes. A wonderful lady from our church began this project several years ago with just a handful of specific soldiers she was mailing to. The list has since grown to many (sorry, I can't remember the exact number) and boxes are now "stuffed" every Thursday. They have so many boxes to put together every week that storage of all the goods and the assembly takes place in a climate controlled storage facility. What a wonderful ministry it has become!

There are several different kinds of boxes that are sent. The toiletry boxes include self care items as well as many goodies such a magazines, small games and other fun items. Snack boxes include just that. And this week's box- Movie Night! These boxes included popcorn, big boxes of "movie theatre candy", 2 DVDs, Girl Scout cookies and other snacks.

Thanks, Neida, for allowing us to be part of such an amazing ministry! We can't wait for next Thursday!

I challenge each of you to be His hands and feet this coming week- go ahead and step out of your boat.

In Him,

E
