Our room is aglow with Christmas. Excitement is in the air. We are turning our hearts towards Him so we can hear and anticipate. We want to bless others. Linwood Elementary is at the top our list.
We just assembled 70 sacks this week to give to second graders at this school in Oklahoma City.
We decorated our sacks with thought and care......
We collected our gently used stuffed animals and books from home......
We added some new items like pencils, crayons, notepads and erasers.......
We had pairs of gloves to keep hands warm as they walk to school this winter.
Addition and subtraction cards were added so they could work on their math facts too!!!
We colored little puzzles to put in ziploc bags and add to the sacks.
We made special cards that told the story of Christ's birth.
We took care in our cards to let the Linwood students know that God loves them very much.
We prayed and asked God to use our sacks in ways we could never imagine. We want to shine for Jesus this Christmas.
And, while we are on the topic of blessing, we are making some special gifts to bless our parents..... Shhhhh!!!! It is a secret but we can't wait until they are opened Dec. 25th.
Thank you, God, for making us instruments to bless others. May our hearts grow bigger and bigger so we can make this our lifestyle EVERY DAY of the year.
