Muffins for Mawmaw- Success!

Muffins for Mawmaw was a success! (pictures below)

This past Saturday, Linzee (10 years old), led a team of people which delivered 204 pairs of socks to the elderly in a local nursing home. We had an awesome time ministering and sharing the love of Jesus.

One conversation which stands out was between Linzee and Sister Wilson, a nun of over 65 years. Sister Wilson asked Linzee to read the scripture that was stickered to the socks.

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Philippians 4:13

As Linzee read this, Sister Wilson's eyes filled with tears. She looked right at Linzee and told her that if she kept this in the forefront of her mind, that she would do great things, and that what she was doing right now was a great thing. Then she said "I think you've touched me."
She also told her about meeting with Mother Teresa twice and talked about the simple truthful things Mother Teresa said, about loving people.

Linzee told me that she knew that making the muffins and selling the muffins would happen. She even believed for 50 pairs of socks. "But wow! 204 pairs of socks, I didn't expect that!"

Isn't it amazing how God does exceedingly more than we could even think!
