Today was a good day, not only was it Friday (which is always good) but it was pay day (cha-ching) and Farmboy texted me at 4:30 and said he was already off work (yahoo!!!) so all that is the makings of a delightful family fun night.
We had big plans for the night, those plans were to pick up the items for our Operation Shoebox. It is a program that our church sponsors that they hand out shoe boxes and we fill them up with goodies and then they get shipped over seas for children to open. I look forward to doing it everywhere.
The part I don't look forward to is the actually shopping with Farmboy and Lil Hoff and I really don't know which one is worse. We walk into Walmart and I am in the lead with my mission in focus, Farmboy is glaring at me and everyone around for simply breathing his air, and Lil Hoff is so excited to grab everything that he is busting open with joy. This should be fun, right?!?! It was for me and Lil Hoff, I just marched on and left Farmboy to corral Lil Hoff and I went on my merry way with joyous Christmas carols dancing around in my head.
After we got home, Lil Hoff and I packed the boxes and after he tried his best to hang on to everything and I kept prying it out of his hands and placing it back in the box, they were finished. The best part about the whole experience is that together Lil Hoff and I prayed over the boxes and for the children that were going to receive them and at the end Lil Hoff said ever so softly "amen". Today I am thankful for the opportunity to do this ministry and share it with my son.
