What is Operation Christmas Child?
Fill a shoe box or small plastic container with gifts for a BOY or GIRL. These boxes will be given to needy children in 3rd world countries who would otherwise have no Christmas.
You can check out www.samaritanspurse.org/occ for more information
Lets try to do MOPS proud and bring in a TON of boxes. A great way to teach our children about giving to others.

Tuesday November 3rd
Tuesday at MOPS we had so much fun! It was just a very, very fun day. Great conversations, fun craft & the food this day was exceptionally good. Great job ladies!! Here is a quick picture of our craft.....just perfect for Fall decorating & Thanksgiving. A "Thanks" banner to hang in your home.
Raguel Shaw gave a devotional about cleaning out your thought closet & the harm that our thoughts cause without us even paying attention.
We all know that our words carry a ton of weight and can hurt someone we love. But have you ever thought about your thoughts and what those can do to you? They can disable your self-esteem in an instant or worse effect your children or husband. We all know what these thoughts are:
You're not a good mother/wife
Your children are not respectful
I am not a good house cleaner
Why doesn't my husband help me more?
If he loved me more he'd pick up his socks/underwear.
These thoughts creep upon us while we are cleaning, folding the laundry, doing dishes and if we do not take them captive they can quickly lead to anger, resentment and bitterness. Which in turn then will hurt your relationship with that person or cripple you as a wife/mother.
What do you say over yourself or think in your mind? Just as we speak blessing, wisdom, truth, direction and instruction over our children & spouse we should be doing to our self.
What do we do when these thoughts come?

Take captive those thoughts as soon as they come!
Pray - pray out loud and name the thoughts out loud that are plaguing you
Worship - the Lord delights in our worship
Re sight Scripture -
Confide - these thoughts to your spouse or good friend. Have them begin to pray for you
Remind yourself daily that God treasures you. He created you in his image and He loves you.
