“That’s MY toy!”
“No, that’s not your baby, that’s MY baby!”
“Sorry, you can’t have jamba, only
I can have jamba.”
“Mommy, what did you buy?”

Evan’s possessiveness and materialism seems to grow daily and so as Christmas approaches, I want to somehow combat it. But how do we combat a “Mine” attitude and a taking spirit? The exercise of GIVING is key, I believe. I’m hoping do have him pack a shoebox of toys, school supplies, toiletries and trinkets for Operation Christmas Child.

This info is from their website -  
Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes and the Good News of God’s love. Since 1993, more than 61 million shoe boxes have been packed, shipped, and delivered across the globe. People of all ages can be involved in this simple, hands-on missions project while focusing on the true meaning of Christmas—Jesus Christ.

HERE’S HOW TO PACK A SHOE BOX - http://www.samaritanspurse.org/index.php/OCC/Pack_A_Shoe_Box/

AND HERE ARE THE DROP OFF LOCATIONS ON OAHU -
Place a rubber band around each closed shoe box and drop off at the Collection Center nearest you during our collection week November 17 - 24.
