Then we sorted it all to make it easy to split up into the boxes.
Boxes are all filled, labeled and ready to be dropped off on Monday.
There are loads of ways families can serve others during the Christmas holidays. This post is to get you thinking now. What are some ministries that you could help out near or far? Friends or neighbors that you could minister to? Get thinking! Don't get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the season and forget what we are celebrating. It is Christ. His birth. His life. His sacrificial death, and more importantly his Resurrection; the gift of salvation that he offers all who believe.
Loved your post, I was surprised they were due already too! Wish we had been that organized, like you. Maybe next year! :) we're thirty minutes away from the drop off church that collects them, and that's where shopping is too. So we did it all at once this year! Our kids really enjoyed it though! Love the reminder for the Christmas season too, been telling myself that already and it's not yet December!! :)
