This past Sunday at church some of the congregation stayed after to decorate the church for Christmas. Jocelyn and I stayed after to help get the food sorted and lined up for our Deacon Baskets (these are baskets of food that we deliver to families that need help). We have done this every year and I decided that Jocelyn needed to start helping with missions that we do as a church as I want her to have a giving heart and to also see how lucky she is. Here she is loading up food in her "shopping cart" to take to the fellowship hall.
Here we are on our way to the fellowship hall with our cart full.
We had to make many trips as we had lots of donations.
Here she is unloading her cart and helping Aunt Betty putting like foods together.
As I said earlier we made MANY trips.
Jocelyn was EXHAUSTED when we were finished and the minute I put her in her carseat she was out like a light and she took a 2 and a half hour nap when we got home. I am so proud of our church and so proud of Jocelyn as she is beginning her mission work.

I think this post is wonderful. We cannot wait until Lily is old enough for us to go on Mission trips. We are praying to see where God wants to send us- Africa... China... or anywhere. We are ready to go.
Jocelyn is learning so early, and that is awesome!!!
Way to go! I know God is smiling down on you!
Fabulous!!! I love to see children learning at a young age the importance of charity and "giving back". We all so much to be thankful for...
