I love doing operation Christmas child. Now that I saw this video and the little kid's smiles it makes me do it even more. It's sad how we take for granted what we have, when some people have nothing. Great song and video!!!
My son's high school does these Christmas shoe boxes every year. We, as a family, try to give one for every age group and sex. It's wonderful to see something of what the kids feel when they open these boxes. Reminds you why you should take time out of your already busy holiday schedule to prepare these boxes! Beautiful!!! Thank You & Happy Holiday!
The little girls face at 3:18 is priceless! All the children are SO happy to be getting their gifts! And those giving are so excited too! I remember that even as a kid I loved giving my gifts as much or more than getting them! Great song and video!
This song is sooooooooooo awesome,it is a good reminder that we all need to at least give something to people who aren't as better off financially as we are.
Every time I watch this I am inspired to almost tears. Just last Sunday my church had a video featuring Matthew about Operation Christmas Child, and I'm inspired and ready to pack a box this year. And having Amy's voice on this track is beautiful too! :)
veggie tales is a work of art.. if kids started watching it, maybe there would be less bullying and violence in the schools.. great song and video by the way
he is her brother in christ and hey are doing a song about how we should give away christmas and have more of a heart towards the children of the world. your comment is weird
that is a very strange comment to make given what the song is about. where is your heart at christmastime, or any other time for that matter? This is a matter that has not been disclosed, and you are insinuating it.
this is the theme for my youth group this year reaching out to those in need! im so happy to have sponsored a child she is a 5 year old in tanzania and m trying to provide for her. its the most incredible feeling getting a letter from her! :) all she wanted was a prayer and she prayed for me she says i love her! :)
How sad that this video has been watched only 90k times while vulgar songs are watched by tens of millions of people... I'm glad I get to be one of the 90,000. :)
Amen! -- Thank you Matthew and Amy for helping me re-focus on Christmas! The world is so aggressive to strip away the true meaning of Christmas. Give someone Hope!! I love it!! So simple but so beautiful and meaningful!
i cried OMG i love this song and our school manhattan christian academy does dis ever year for kids every yar i am a christian named sherlyn i love jesus
This song makes me smile, no matter what time of year. Matthew West and Amy Grant are so talented. I'm so grateful that they are using their gifts for the greater glory of God.
This is on the video from Operation Christmas Child. It is on the bonus videos under Artist and Supporters title "Veggie Tales" Making of ST. Nicholas about half way through.
Thank you for this song and video. I played this at our church for our Kick-off to the operation christmas child shoebox ministry this year. WOW!! This really says what I feel about this ministry, we have so much and it takes so little to give to others!! Amen and God Bless you.
We would love to ba able to show this video during one of the scenes of our children's Christmas play this year. Any ideas on how I can get it and use it? It is so beautiful and fits so appropriately with the charity scene of the play. Any input is appreciated....Thanks!
I LOVE Operation Christmas Child!! We make such an impact on the world with Samaritan's Purse =] I am about to cry!!! I can't wait for Christms so we can make Shoe boxes again!!! XD beautiful song!!! =]
I love doing the shoe box thing! It's so much fun and the best part of it is that a little child from somewhere around the world is going to get something special for Christmas!
Cool, I didn't know this project also existed in English-speaking countries! It's "Weihnachten im Schuhkarton" in German. My sister and I participated in it this year and last year!:)
Also, I was listening to K-Love about a week ago and a lady called in saying she went to a Matthew West concert. She said Matthew was talking about "giving Christmas away" and her autistic son said later, "We don't have to have Christmas trees or presents, it's all about love" (or something to that affect). I can't not think about that when I listen to this song now. (:
Thank you for uploading the song. It makes me wana do more and more. Definately will have another trip to help needy and most of all my fav. are 89 little orphanage at boncel in Jakarta. Miss them already ,,, GBU all
Thank you, Matthew West and Amy Grant, for reminding all of us how we can make the true meaning of Christmas come true. Beautiful song! Worthwhile project!
Tears...we have so much in N. America and having been one blessed to personally place one of these boxes in the hands of a child in a garbage dump in Ecuador, South America, this pictures in this video make me wish I could do so much more.
most meaningful new Christmas song of the year by far, the best of Matthew West that will reach the hearts of all who are blessed to hear this excellent song with an excellent message that focuses on the true meaning of Christmas
I'm so glad that Veggie Tales teamed up with Samaritan's Purse for this one! Wow! How awesome and what a way to get the word out about Operation Christmas Child. I heard from my friend who works with Samaritan's purse that for every 3 shoe boxes that go out 1 child gets saved! Awesome! :)
So touching, great video/song. My family usually does Operation Christmas Child every Christmas, and I guess now is the time to start saving for it :)
this gave me the chills:)
