Since 2008, Terri and I have experienced the great and joy and distinct privilege serving as ministry partners with Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child, providing precious children with the Greatest Gift of All through the simple gift of a shoebox filled with love and soaked in prayer.

Since 1993, led by Franklin Graham, Operation Christmas Child has provided children in regions suffering from poverty, war, and devastation with over 100 million shoebox gifts.

God has given each of us grace. Starting this past Monday, as Sweet T and the team closed out a mind-blowing National Collection Week, I began serving at the Dallas PC as their chaplain for the PM shift. As Christians, you and I are called to do everything in a manner that glorifies God through Jesus Christ. God thinks about us as a father does upon his children.

DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE God thinks about us.
