Hospital / Garden Tomb / Girly stuff

Wednesday I made my first hospital visit. I was still nursing a cold so I kept my distance. We arrived to visit baby Mohammed first. He is still in ICU and critical with a tube in his chest. He is breathing on his own so that was great. He is the big chubby faced baby in the picture. The picture of us with the two fathers is baby Ahmed. Sweet and smiling. He is a Syrian refugee. We enjoyed our visit. The fathers are so opposite. One is funny and light hearted and offered us Chai tea for our ride home and the other so serious and stern.

On Thursday, Mary and I decided to go to the garden tomb.  It is literally half a mile from the home. We past through the Arabs side to get there. I can't believe the sanctuary of peace located just over a wall from hostile living conditions. Mind boggling!  The gardens were beautiful and the tomb a stark reminder of the awesomeness of the crucifixion but more importantly and meaningfull Christ sacrifice!  Wow! I was truly thankful and peaceful in my spirit unlike the feeling I had when I walked through the entrance! To visit this site was a dream come true!

To top off a wonderful day, Lizan wanted to do some girly things. We started with her painting my nails and then ended with her curling my hair. I love spending time with her and I love this little Kurdish girl.  The day ended with us watching Frozen and playing UNO.  The movie was in English but we hummed the songs together. What a joy she is.  I'm getting better at UNO and if I win two in a row she isn't as interested in playing anymore. Lol

Blessings!
