SHOEBOXES--Packing for Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child?
I write quite often about crocheting or making crafts for this ministry.  You can do it all year round, so you will have enough to pack several boxes or donate to a local Collection Center, which is usually a church in your area.  Boxes can also be mailed--please see their website.  These are ideas for wrapping a cardboard shoebox.  Take a map or travel brochure, open it up and fit it around the box.  Tape.  Lid needs to be wrapped separate (or let it plain).  My blog has ideas for what to make and also the link to website.  Maybe your group or club can do this project.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!  What is "IndependencE DAY? 
On July 4, 1776 the 13 colonies declared their independence.  To be free from restrictions and to live their life in peace as they wished to.  But, we also need to realize that we need to be "dependent" on the one who "set us free" spiritually.  Our God.  Our greatest strength comes from being dependent on Him.  Our forefathers recognized this.  I urge you today to study History and compare it to what is happening today.  Those who think they are fighting for their freedoms, may actually be "giving them away."  Probably, without realizing it!  So, instead of listening to the medias and politicians babble, do your own research and ask God to guide you in your decisions.  Have a great Holiday! 

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all the men who strive to do the best they can with raising their children!
