A Fathers Example

     My husband has been a big support when it comes to the Operation Christmas Child activity.  He has taken time to help put shoeboxes together, and deliver them to the drop off locations.  The drop off locations are the places to deliver the packed shoeboxes, so they can be sent of to different countries.  He has also worked hard so we can have some of the needed money for the shipping expenses.   He has also encouraged the children, and shared with them experiences he has had when he has traveled to poor countries and helped serve them.  This has helped the children gain a greater respect for him.  It has helped them have a greater understanding for the needs of others, and that when we serve them, we our serving God.

"Parenting is a work of vital, even eternal, importance to children, families, and communities.  Fathers make a fundamental difference in parenting across generation."
