I'm joining other bloggers and social media users and accepting a challenge to give in some way every day for the month of November. It might be a monetary gift or donation, or it might involve the gift of service or time. It might be huge, or it might seem insignificant. Whatever it is, each day, it will be done to bring glory to God, the Giver of all good gifts.
Today is the first drop-off day for Operation Christmas Child at our church. Big Sis just got home from school and is enjoying a snack and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, but when she is finished, we're putting together our boxes. I've been looking forward to this since last year! I've even been planning for it when I buy (read: get free & stockpile) toothpaste and toothbrushes and other toiletries with my couponing. So far, we've got two boxes to fill: both for young girls like Big & Little Sister. They'll contain toiletries, hair accessories, hard candy, a jump rope, a stuffed animal, a small fleece blanket, socks, other small toys, art/writing supplies, and more. I've gotten most of the things over time, but the girls will get to pick out a few special things themselves, too.
So that's Day 1. Twenty-nine more days of giving to go. Want to join me? Share in the comments what you're doing to give this month. And check out the 30 Day Giving Challenge site, including their lists of ways to give and of other bloggers who are participating.
Happy giving!
