My mother is getting older. This coming June she will celebrate being 86 years old. Her health is not what it once was. When I leave after visiting her, my mind often goes back to the way it once was, when she was in the prime of health and ability. She was active and involved in the work of the church. She taught “Bible class” and was the church secretary. Fathers are important and to be cherished, but there is something about mothers that make them special. For me my mother thought I could do anything! She encouraged me to be the best baseball player I could be. She encouraged me to be a scout, she encouraged me to be a Christian. It was her encouragement that has helped me along life’s journey.
This past Easter, we had our family over for our traditional egg hunt. After all (or at least most) of the eggs were found the children played in the back yard. John Derrick is having a little difficulty learning the art of swinging. He hasn’t grasped the concept of pumping his legs to get the swing to go higher. As I watched it was his mother who went out and gave him a little push to help him get started. Isn’t it interesting to note that with a little push, we can begin to soar higher and higher in life.
God bless,
Steve

It would be wise to be noted that metal swing sets will not final as lengthy as wood sets, for the reason that they will inevitably corrode with extended exposure to the components. They are also not as solid as wooden sets, and could not be ready to assistance the weight of older youngsters, building them a little extra of a security possibility.
