Painting a Free Swing & Sharing a Wild Childhood Story

We picked up an old weathered swing somebody left out on the side of the road, and today we finally gave it a second chance. Glenda sanded it down, picked out a suede color that matches our cushions, and we spent the afternoon painting, talking, and laughing our way through the project. Somewhere in the middle of it all, she shared a childhood story about getting covered in wasps — 54 stings! — and it reminded us how tough folks can be when they have to. Now that swing’s looking pretty again, the flowers are shining up the place, and we’re thankful for this little spot the Lord blessed us with. If you enjoy simple living, backyard projects, and good stories, you’re right at home here. Leave us a comment, tell us where you’re watching from, and let us know what projects you’re working on. We love hearing from y’all. God loves you, and we do too.
