The Lord has shown great mercy in His care for us and is opening ministry doors.
Occasionally, outreach feedback is shared with us that is unforgettable! A very TOUCHING AND GRATIFYING bit of feedback was sent in 2011.
Dear M&M Team,
I recently had the pleasure of conversing with Joyce when I had shared a memory that happened about 23 years ago…….
A few days ago my two boys came home from school and as always, I opened their backpacks to check their folders for home work. As I was going through my oldest sons papers, I came across a post card with a picture of a man.
I took a better look and I realized that I knew this gentleman. Although the puppet was a new friend, it was clear to me that the M&M team came to visit the Loyal Elementary School library about 23 years ago when I was about 5 or 6 years of age.
I was almost instantly in tears.
I couldn’t believe that my two boys had the pleasure of learning values that I hope will last forever. I told my boys that their mamma saw the same man and his fabric friends when she was a little girl. At that point I had gone into my cabinet where I have all my elementary papers that I had collected and on the top of my stack of papers was a picture of a younger Mr. M&M and 8 of his puppet friends. I kept that picture for over 20 years because for me it was a memory that I will never forget.
The boys listened to my memory of the M&M team and I got to enjoy their story of how funny Mr. M&M was and how he took 3 pieces of string and turned it into one long piece. I even remember bits and pieces of a song that was sang by the team. “Say No! Get Away! Tell Somebody”.
I want to say thank you M&M team for the hard work and dedication that you’ve provided for many years. I truly have not forgotten nor will I ever forget my memories and sharing them with my children.
A Special Thank You and Many Blessings
