Yesterday evening after my Friday late afternoon group at the Ukrainian church in my city, I met the father, mother, and daughter of the family I have written about. We went for coffee and sat outside to get to know each other better. It was a wonderful evening of fellowship.
During the class, I asked Ester if it would be okay to share the photos from when she received the violin. I asked her to think about it, but she told me yes. I asked to to think about it a few times and suggested she tell me the next time she sees me, but she used Google translate to look up how to tell me I could share the photos. So today I am sharing them.
Yesterday evening we talked about how trauma like fleeing a war can cause creative people to have a block in their creativity. Ester being a singer and able to play both violin and piano is a creative person with a gentle spirit. When she received the violin, it broke through that block.
She is practicing her violin and after class she stopped at the piano to play a little. I suggested I could get some sheet music from my friend Clark who gave her the violin. My idea is that they can play during worship at my church together one Sunday morning in the future.
This is Ester receiving her violin. Look at her beaming smile.
This is Ester with her parents.
I wanted a picture too. 🙂
It is amazing how Jesus can do wonderful things to bring healing to our souls. Please pray for Ester as she welcomes the joy of music back into her life and also for her family. They have only been here seven weeks.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.

You can feel the joy in that room, brother Matt. What an awesome way to help a family who had to leave their war torn country. As a fellow musician, it would be extremely hard to leave my guitar behind.
Are you still raising money to help pay for the instrument?
Yes still raising money. Please email me for details. Thank you so much!!!
Will do.
Thank you for sharing the pics and allowing us to see the big smile on her face. What a beautiful thing to do. I do hope she someday plays in church with your friend Clark.
I planted the seed of thought about her playing.
What a precious family and what a powerfully kind way to bless them!
They are a blessing to me
Such joy on her face is priceless
God can bring beauty from ashes, He is a good Father and you were His instrument💜🔥😊
It is awesome to be included by God in his work
That’s awesome!
Praise God! Wonderful pictures! 🎻
It was a moment I will never forget 🙂
Awesome! Thank you Matt for sharing the joy, which abounds in these priceless photos.
Glad to share them. Her countenance has changed exuding the joy of the Lord again
