Charitable Hearts

I am grateful on this day,

Thursday 9th December 2010,

for Charitable Hearts

The one I'm thinking of today

is my very own

Charlotte.

Every year along with other charitable works

here in the UK

'Operation Christmas Child'

gets under-way,

known as the 'shoe box appeal'.

Each shoe box is decorated

and filled with goodies,

labelled for boy or girl,

and taken to the collection point.

Last year 1.2 million shoe boxes

'bursting with joy'

were sent to

Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe,

for children in need.

Oh what a lovely thing to do and I love it that each box is decorated, rather than just wrapped. The box itself will be something to treasure and fill with little memories. This tradition brings joy to the givers and the receivers -- how cool!

I wonder where our shoe boxes are now and who will be opening them? I am grateful to you Mum for your help this year. I haven't done this many boxes before. For any that are interested in the charity it's here:

I hope all the children love their goodies :)

Carmen, that is more than okay, spreading 'the love' is what we blogger's do best! If you return to this post Charlotte has pasted the information for you, although it isn't a direct link.

Much love to you. x
