Donation

This last week I received a generous donation from a lady in our church.  She and her husband were moving to a smaller house.  She has various collection and one of the items she has collected over the years is beanie babies.  Not having as much room in their new house, she parted with some of her collection (23!) and donated them to be used in Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes. 

She has had a heart for shoe boxes for years and has encouraged me numerous times to keep up with promoting shoe boxes in our church.  Knowing that 23 children will have something soft to love on, is so awesome!  What a blessing!

Thrift Store Finds- Stuffed Animals

Garage Sales and Thrift Stores are great places to find stuffed animals for your boxes.

I bought these for .25 cents each.

I just imagine some child opening up their box and hugging these.

Well worth .25 cents!
