The Playset!




Spicer Beth absolutely loves to swing! I think she would swing for hours if we let her. :) Naturally, knowing how much she loves this activity, Jared and I have been wanting to get her a swing set. We have been looking for several months for the perfect one. I never knew how difficult it would be to decide on which swing set was best for our family. So... finally, we found THE ONE in Springdale! Not wanting to pay for delivery and set up charges, we made our way up the hill to pick it up on Saturday. Sunday morning, I awoke to Jared already hard at work on setting it up! He, along with a few friends, worked on it all day Sunday and most of the day Monday. Then, around 8:00 or so, Monday evening, it was finished! Spicer was so excited! She swung her little heart out that evening. It blessed my heart to see her enjoy it knowing how much we wanted her to have the swing set, how long we had searched for just the right one, and how hard Jared had worked to set it all up! Then, I thought, if I, as a mere mortal, love to give my sweet daughter good gifts, how much more does our Heavenly Father LOVE to give us good gifts?! And how much more joy does it bring to Him when he sees us enjoy those gifts?! I'm so very thankful! I'm thankful that we were able to give Spicer a swing set to enjoy now and for years to come. I'm thankful to Jared for working his head off to set it all up! But, more than anything, I'm thankful for my Heavenly Father who loves to give good gifts to all of us! :)
