A Go-Cart Ride and a Singing Lesson (for Karim)
Spiritual Friendship ^ | July 24, 2007 | Liz

Posted on 07/24/2007 6:17:20 AM PDT by NYer




This evening I could not be with the family because I had a meeting with my wonderful spiritual director, Michael. I learned that my husband, Joe, and Andy had taken Ebtisam and Karim back for another go-cart ride. This time they brought the camera. When I got home, Laura had Karim on her lap and was giving him a singing lesson. She is a music teacher. He was singing all the notes and English words. It was so cute to hear him singing in his little voice. And he had a huge smile on his face! He is getting more and more comfortable here every day. My family loves him very much!! Ebtisam is giving my kids lessons in Arabic. They like this, too. God bless you all and keep praying. Liz

It’s been only one week and Karim is showing much improvement. Please keep those prayers going for Karim and all who are assisting him. Thank you!

He definitely looks better, especially his mouth and chin. Everything that's being done for him seems to be helping.

We will continue to pray! Poor lamb, may God shower all his special blessings on him!

What a difference in just one week. Thank you for the prayers. It's so good to see a smile on this child's face. Being surrouned by that much love is bound to make a difference in his perception of self.
