Why Leila Is Still Packing Shoeboxes and Serving the Lord at 98

Leila Mae Cummings’ favorite activity is to pack Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts. This 98-year-old resident of Greensboro, North Carolina, packed hundreds of them this year because she has a heart for children and hard work. “Growing up on the farm, I can’t ever remember a time when I didn’t have a job to do. I want to serve the Lord and do right. The secret of living is to keep busy.” She prays, “Lord, let me work up until the time I go.”
