“Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest;
even during the plowing season and harvest you must rest.
~Exodus 34:21~

Operation Christmas Child “Shoeboxes”
We are working to get in some last minute items purchased and to get everything sorted and prepared for packing.
I was blessed to have an opportunity to get some of the large red and green plastic shoeboxes at a big discount – $5.00 per dozen boxes! I will get these boxes on the 17th. They will replace the red and green cardboard boxes we have purchasing.
