Part of the reason I love doing is because of why we do it. For me it has been a symbol of what the celebration of what Christmas should be...err, is. After all, wasn't it about this...
"Who being in very nature, God...making himself nothing...being made in human likeness..."...so that it could ultimately be about this...
"he humbled himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross!"...and maybe, not about this...
I am so thankful to be able to have discovered the greatest gift ever...EVER given. These children do not...have not...will not. Not unless they are told. Yes, it is just a shoe box but, in giving that shoe box, Samaritain's Purse gives the love of Jesus! The giving of these shoe boxes is a symbol of His love poured out for us when He wrapped Himself in flesh and lived among us...the greatest gift. In showing these kids how to give they are teaching them about the best giver who humbled Himself to the point of death for all of us...including these kids....like her...
...and these girls... 
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas! May you find yourself this year, giving it away...
Oh! One quick question...does anyone know how to get the youtube videos to fit? Mine seem to get cut every time I post one...
