Every year our church participates in Christmas in Mexico. Very similar to the ministry of Samaritan's Purse, where you fill a shoe box sized container with toys, toiletries and a story of the love of Jesus. Our family has always enjoyed taking Koen to select an child based on age and gender and let him choose the items we send to that child taking time to talk about all the blessings that we take for granted and how each item we send might impact their life. This year it was twice as fun, because I got to take John Thomas as well! I realize that he probably doesn't have any idea what we are actually doing, but instilling a heart of service and giving in our children is a top priority in our home, so I don't think we can ever start too early!
