Great reflection of how amazing God is. ...
My previous post on the little orphans I loved on in South America, or rather they loved on me...the thought of their little happy faces tugs at my heart. Last night I wrote about it and tonight I got to volunteer with Elevation Church at Operation Christmas Child- Samaritan's Purse! It was a TON of fun and worth every minute of being there. The people who work on staff there are amazing lovely people to be around. All the hundreds of people volunteering tonight were great! Most importantly..every time I opened a shoebox to go through and make it perfect for the little child who it would be handed to on Christmas, I thought of those little orphans again. What if I was arranging and tucking every little item in so neat for one of my little friends in Colombia. It could be. I wanted every box to be perfect. Better than perfect. Not just for my little friends in Colombia, but ALL OVER the world! It made my heart light up with joy to think of all these little children hearing the message of the Gospel and getting to experience God's love from all the hard work of the tons of people who had a hand in Operation Christma Child. It makes me feel so warm and excited that I think I may volunteer full time on one of their community teams. Shoot!
P.S. please get your church or school club involved in O.C.C.!! It's not just seasonal. It's year round! The power of a child's smile and happiness. The power of the Gospel through the eyes of children. Think about it. You can be a part of this!
