22 Pastor Gift Boxes Completed . . . Around 200 (or so) More To Go

For the past two days, we've been putting together Christmas gift boxes to give to the pastors we work with and their families. In the Christmas shipment, we receive some boxes that are ready to distribute, but many of our donors will send us a box full of one item . . . blankets, or pencils, or baseball caps, etc. With all of these 'raw materials,' we then put together boxes which are specific to the recipient family. It's fun work, although after a few days/weeks it will be less fun . . . you know how that goes!

You'd think that after taking 22 boxes (packed full) out of the house, things would be looking better around here, but in reality I think it may be a bit worse. Now we have open boxes, and piles of sorted items all over the place. We are hopeful that we will be able to move the gift processing out onto the carport in a few days, and have the house back for living in!
