How important is a washcloth to you?
Recently I met a woman who got to go on an Operation Christmas Child distribution in Ecuador last year... it was the most incredibly moving experience. But what really got to her was when she asked one boy what his favorite item was in his box... are you ready for this?!
It was the washcloth.
Not the toys, school supplies or other items, as wonderful and necessary as they were to him. But he cherished having his own washcloth.
You never know what your simple gifts will mean to the child living in poverty who receives them... you never know when what seems the least important to you is the most important to another.
This short video clip is from one of the distributions in Ecuador last year...
It's time to start packing these simple but life changing gifts. Come by Family Christian Stores to pick up your free box... or boxes. :o)
