What Happiness is All About . . .

Tonight we were at Target shopping and we were talking about a toy that had a blue award ribbon on it with a #1. Annalina was asking me if I could put the blue ribbon in her hair and I was trying to say in a kind way that wasn't what it was for and I said "What would you have won a blue ribbon for?" and all of a sudden Gabriel said "I know what she won the blue ribbon for, for being the sweetest girl in the whole world." Wow, was that ever nice of a BROTHER!! Annalina just beemed when she heard him. Later tonight when Gabriel was by himself I told him how nice that was of him and how sisters need big brothers that say things like that to them. Gabriel's response was "It made me happy" (to say what he said). And he said "Just like when you do what God says your happy and when you say what Satan says you are sad."

He is as my dad would say "A tender warrior". He can sword fight VICIOUSLY and he loves all things war and bombs but he can be a tender warrior. Also, how important is it to learn true happiness which is doing what God has asked and being in His will and therefore his care and hands.
