I am typing this post from my desk at work while eating "Reeses Peanut Butter Cup" cereal.  Mmmm good!  I don't have a lot to say, but I did want to post about Gabriel.  I am very proud of him.  On Tuesday I came home and found out that the kids, (Elisha and Gabe) hadn't gotten their homework/schoolwork done.  I was pretty dissapointed at the children, and decided I would help out.  Well, I sat down and explained to them exactly what I wanted to see on their schoolwork.

The neat thing is that the last two days Gabriel has been doing his schoolwork exactly as I have asked him to.  He has been very excited about getting done now.  His attitude has been awesome and he told me yesterday that he was happy that he is now getting his homework done on time and the way he is supposed.  It is amazing to see that just a little guidance was needed and Gabe just took off.  He now has a clear idea of how to do things, and it all makes sense.  He works the best that way.  Gabriel is much happier when he knows the rules and exactly what is expected. 

It is cool to see the differences between the children.  I love them all and am proud of them all, but I did want to mention Gabriel in a special way today because of how well he is doing.

I can't say it enough.  God has blessed me more than I could have ever imagined he would.  The blessings are also not what I would have expected to be blessings, in my youth, but the Lord knows best and I am so thankful that He loves us so much.
