Saturday a friend from church, Nancy Hall and I took all the money we had collected from our church's "Support our Troops" ministry and went shopping. I am NOT a person who looks forward to shopping, NEVER have and never will, but it was for a great cause so I went..... We hit Wal-Mart around 9 a.m. and left after 12 sometime. Then we went to the church and worked on the boxes, getting them packed and separated. We had 6 overseas boxes to get ready (Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, Greece and Germany) then we also had 6 state side boxes to prepare for military families that are from our church family as well. It was fun thinking of what the guys and gals would think of what we had bought. We even added a "whoopee cushion" to the boxes. I know my son-in-law will enjoy that! We shipped out the overseas boxes on Monday after we made a Church wide Christmas card for each and every soldier.
This week we have to get the boxes ready for the state side soldiers and their families. It was a fun time and a blessing to be involved in this ministry. But we were sure tired when we both returned to our own homes!!!!
