Still distributing gifts at midnight!!

Last weekend I wrote about another warm and loving couple from the village of Cirer who foster 4 children including Rebecca (seen here with a beautiful scarf from her Christmas Box), whom we first met here at the apartment.  They run a village shop in the grounds of their side street home.  It is a typical village store that sells food and such a variety of household items including second hand clothes.  They work hard but give so much - they are blessed to be a blessing.   We had pre-warned the family that we would be late and arrived at around midnight to a joyous welcome. We smiled as mam enjoyed sharing what each child had in their shoe box and at one point picked up a pretty pair of girls's pants and said to one of the girls - "well now you stop wearing mine!"  These children are doing so well and a joy to behold.  Mam mentioned that they had all been involved in making up Christmas food parcels for poor families in the village.  The Luca family blessed them with a box of fruit for Christmas.
