Share the Joy of Giving
Thanksgiving and Christmas invite us to notice the gifts we have received and look for ways to share that joy with others. At Almost Heaven Publishing, we want to encourage simple, meaningful acts of generosity - especially through organizations with a heart for helping children.
One opportunity we would love to share is Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan’s Purse. Individuals, families, churches, and groups can pack a shoebox with thoughtfully chosen gifts for a child. It is a tangible way to offer care and share the love of Jesus.
You can also hear from people who received shoeboxes as children. Their stories remind us that the care placed into a gift can be remembered long after the box is opened. We invite you to read their words on the Operation Christmas Child website.
Perhaps packing a box could become a special part of your season. Choose gifts with the child in mind, pray for the one who will receive them, and enjoy giving together. You might pack a shoebox on your own, with a friend, or with your family - each gift is a chance to share the joy of Christmas with a child.
