I just can't stop at one or two and filled about five last Christmas. My sister-in-law saw how much pleasure I got from filling the boxes that last year she also filled several boxes. It is such a tangible way of giving to children in poorer countries and ensuring that the gift goes to its intended recipient. Neither of us are regular church goers, but we can see the power and pleasure that these simple boxes can give to children in other countries and feel blessed that we are able to participate. We will be filling more next Christmas That these boxes are so well received is wonderful, but, I can’t begin to tell you how much pleasure I get from filling these shoe boxes.
