Last week The Boy Scouts asked Jared and a few of his friends to go shopping for the troop for their survival camp out. The boy's had to do the shopping (only with very little help from parents) and stay with in the budget.
They did a great job, and it only took us an hour and 15 minutes! Not bad with six kids and three adults!
Last week the kids also got to experience the gift of giving! This was their first year to pick out gifts for children less fortunate through Operation Christmas Child. When we were shopping Grace kept referring to the little girl we were shopping for as, "My Girl". "My girl will love this, can we buy this for my girl?" We bought for a 10-14 year old boy and a 2-4 year old girl.
What a blessing! The kids loved this. They put so much thought into what should go into the boxes. This is now a new family tradition!
Delivery day at the church!
After we got home we were reading thought the brochure again and we discovered we can follow our boxes on line!
“So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.” John 13:34
