Operation Christmas Child is just around the corner.  In a couple of weeks we will be kicking off our 2011 Operation Christmas Child shoebox collection for children who are less fortunate in foreign countries.

We ask that each of you take one of the book marks and put it in your Bible as a reminder to begin praying for this year’s shoe box collection.  Remember those who pack the boxes, those who transport the boxes to their destinations, and especially for each child who receives one of these specially packed boxes.  May God Bless each one involved here at home and also those missionaries in foreign lands who are spreading the Love of Christ.

Thanks to each of you,

Junior & Missy Lamb

 “One of God’s main jobs is making people.  He makes them to replace the ones that die, so there will be enough people to take care of things on earth.  He doesn’t make grownups, just babies.  I think because they are smaller and easier.”

“Jesus is God’s Son.  He used to do all the hard work, like walking on water and performing miracles and trying to teach the people who didn’t want to learn about God.  They finally got tired of him preaching to them and they crucified him.  But he was good and kind, like his father, and he told his father that they didn’t know what they were doing and to forgive them and God said O.K.”

His dad (God) appreciated everything that he had done and all his hard work on earth so he told him he didn’t have to go out on the road anymore. He could stay in heaven.  So he did, and now he helps his dad out by listening to prayers and seeing things which are important for God to take care of and which ones he can take care of himself without having to bother God. Like a secretary, only more important.”

 “God’s second most important job is listening to our prayers. God doesn’t have time to listen to the radio or TV because of this.  God sees everything and he hears everything and is everywhere which keeps Him pretty busy.  So you shouldn’t go wasting his time by going over your mom and dad’s head asking for something they said you couldn’t have.”

“Don’t skip church to do something you think will be more fun like going to the beach. This is wrong. And besides the sun doesn’t come out at the beach until noon anyway.” 

“But..you shouldn’t just always think of what God can do for you.  I figure God put me here and he can take me back anytime he pleases.  And..that’s why I believe in God.”
