ShoeBoxes of Love: Friendship Bracelets

Friendship Bracelets

I love the idea of involving our kids in making gifts for the shoeboxes!

One idea I have shared before is that tweens and teens can easily make friendship bracelets. Perhaps the child can make 2 matching ones.. one for the child, and one for themselves and when they wear their bracelet they can remember to pray for the shoebox recipient!

It would be fun to take a picture of your child wearing one of them, and holding the other, so that the child will see that they have matching bracelets.

There are so many different styles of friendship bracelets out there... kits to buy... and many styles. If you have never made them there are GREAT instructions with pictures for one type of friendship bracelet at http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Friendship-Bracelet#

I love this idea! I may adapt it to my younger children and make simple matching beaded bracelets.

HI!!! I am Rhonda and I am a year round volunteer with Operation Christmas Child here in the Klamath Area and in case you couldn't tell yet, I LOVE OCC!

I hope that at this blog you are inspired to pack boxes, to pray, and to share the news about Operation Christmas Child with others in your life.

To God be the glory!

“How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” (Romans 10:14-15)

DROP OFF LOCATION

The Drop Off sites around the nation are now all closed.

If you already packed a shoebox you can mail it. Learn more at http://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/drop-off-locations/

Or if you learned about it too late this year, or time slipped away, you can still build a shoebox online at https://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/buildonline/ The boxes built online can be more expensive, especially if you are a sale shopper BUT they have all approved items and can go anywhere in the world, including areas where there are many restrictions, such as Muslim nations. So please consider this option if you still want to do a box.

And it is NEVER too early to start shopping and crafting towards next years' boxes! There are still hundreds of millions of children around the world in desperate poverty and needing the love of Jesus.
