toys for tots
Yesterday, M and I tagged along with the boys to sort toys for Toys for Tots. It was such a blessing to serve alongside the seasoned volunteers. The number of donations were incredible - hundreds and hundreds of new toys piled 6 feet high generously given by the people of our county.
The gifts arrived at the warehouse in big trash bags by Uhaul truck (5 trucks full!). Our job was to open the bags and distribute the toys to their appropriate age group. It was like Christmas morning! I couldn't help but think about the recipient's beaming face upon receiving the present. Each child will get three gifts plus stocking stuffers.
I came home encouraged and my Christmas cup full. The spirit of giving is alive and well!
