Stuffing Stockings...in September!


Today, Madison helped others by stuffing Christmas stockings.  Here she is above, putting candy cane pencils into a few of the green stockings, making sure the hook in each pencil hangs on the outside.  

Earlier, Mommy had sewn together stockings colored green and red.  Together, she and Madison filled the stockings this afternoon with small gifts and presents for Christmas.  Later on, Mommy will send these to New York to a ministry that helps take care of those who can't afford the best Christmas.

It will be especially nice this year, as Madison helped bring a smile to someone's face with a thoughtful stocking.  She's usually very helpful, but teaching her to give, serve and think of others is something that makes Mommy and Daddy happy.
