Gabriel really is so sweet and thoughtful of others. He is always the first to compliment me on my clothes, jewelry, new toenail art and my hair. He worries about others when they are hurt and wants to help them out in whatever way a 4 year old can. Well, 2 days ago I was reading the blog about Jonah, I have his picture posted on my blog, and I was looking at some pictures of him. Gaber came by and noticed the blisters on this baby's face. He asked me what was wrong with him and so I explained that he was born with a skin condition and that he gets owies all over his body and I told him they have to keep him all bandaged up. I looked at Gaber and he had so much concern all over his face. I told him that we need to pray for Jonah so that he won't be in pain and that maybe one day he will be cured.
Later that night Jeff came downstairs after putting the boys to bed and told me that Gaber announced that they needed to pray for Jonah! Jeff was confused at first, he thought Gaber was talking about Jonah and the Whale. :) Gaber explained to daddy that they needed to pray for the baby that has owies all over him. Wow! I really wouldn't have thought that he would remeber to pray for little Jonah after a long day! I'm so thankful for him being so tenderhearted and eager to pray for others. He really cares about this baby he doesn't even know and believes in prayer at the age of 4! What a blessing!
If only adults could have the heart of a child. They have so much love to give and share. We all could take a lesson in compassion from them. Gaber, you are so special.

That is indeed a great blessing. My daughter was just like him. Her four year old is also very tenderhearted,
