Boxes at Circir

Our last visit of the night was to "Circir", home of Rebecca out in the village of Vladimirescu.  It is an amazing home where Elena and her late husband together made a loving environment  for 6 orphaned children - they also have a daughter of their own.    We were so touched by the love in this home when we visited last year that we decided we  would  return with Christmas gifts this year.

Sadly and tragically "dad" died very suddenly just a few months of a heart attack and the whole family are heartbroken.  We all shared the weight of the sadness and grief as we entered and our hearts just bled for the entire family.    No pictures were taken  on this occasion and I wept on returning to the car.  Lord - I know we are not here to fathom out God's ways but sometimes it is hard not to ask why.

It's late and I am so weary but committed to keeping everyone updated on my activities.
