We also delivered baskets #1126-1132 over the last 2 weeks. Thank you so much to DeAnna, Diane, LaRae, LaNell and SaDonna for helping us get those to some grateful families. We also received a message from one of the ladies who helps us get the baskets to the senior citizens:

So many time we unintentionally become accustomed and take for granted the blessings that have been bestowed on us. Each month Marilyn faithfully brings laundry basket supplies to my office to be given to the Foster Grandparents (a senior citizens group that helps with the Head Start children at school). So many of these senior citizens live on less than $8,000. a year so it is truly a thrill for them to even get a bottle of bleach that they do not have to pay for. It is only through God’s grace that we are not in the same position. Every month we have a drawing and one of the Grandparents will receive a full basket. Today one of the Grandmothers won a basket and she called me to tell me how excited they were when they began to take the things out of the bag. Laundry detergent! Soap! Cleaner! Denture Cleaning Supplies!! My Goodness…BLEACH!!!!! She said her husband had tears come to his eyes…they were so thankful. They were thrilled! How long has it been since we have been so excited about such simple everyday items? “Little is Much When God Is In It” It blesses me to see these seniors so thrilled. I am one of the fortunate ones that is privileged to hear the feedback from some of the recipients of LBFOL.  SaDonna T. Sikeston, MO 

If you would like to help us “deliver God’s love” through a LBFOL basket you can use our pay pal link or our mailing address. All donations are tax deducible and very much appreciated, as stated by one of our recipients. Thank you in advance and God Bless you,  Marilyn Hull
