it's better to give than to rececive

Today I rushed(ish) back from Quito to be back in time for lunch.
  

Today our church youth cooked lunch for the Laura Flores families and afterwards we gave each family a parcel of toys and clothes. I am very proud to say all these clothes came from my friends and old school back in Liverpool. Hurrah for Liverpool :)
Laura Flores families (plus me-can you spot me?)

                                               I wish you could have been there to see it!

The mums were so grateful for the clothes especially for the baby clothes we could give them.

Growing up I was always told "it's better to give than to receive". Did you get told that too when you were being difficult? I understand what it means and there have been moments when I agreed with it but..let's be honest...getting a gift is great! Today though was different. Seeing the babies clutching their new (and probably only) toys and hearing the mums discuss their brand new "proper English" clothes I was so happy!
