Little Blessings

Yesterday Jacob came home really upset and angry. I asked him what was wrong and after an hour of trying to get to the bottom of it he finally told me he was having problems with bullies at school. He then proceeded to ask me out of the blue if daddy would give him a special fathers blessing. I began to cry and told him that he would have to ask his father that. After we picked up Josh from work Jacob asked him for a blessing. I was so proud of him taking the initiative of asking for help and feeling comfortably enough to ask. I can see the way church has helped him and given him the confidence he needs to be a good strong church member, and how the Lord has blessed his life for the better.
What was even better was that Jacob came home today and told me the blessing worked cause the bullies left him alone. I am so proud of my little man.

  1. Oh no!! :( I'm glad that Jacob thought to ask for a blessing, and I'm glad that he is talking to you guys about what is going on, but I am sad that he is being bullied.
