Thanksgiving Devotional celebrating Operation Christmas Child!
I wrote this devotional series two years ago to foster a sense of thankfulness and guide families through the process of packing a shoebox with Operation Christmas Child.

There are 5 devotionals, designed to be completed during the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving. Each one includes scripture, questions to discuss, and an activity to complete.
