#PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS SONG WRITERS FULL#
And, because Samuel was full of joy, so was I.Īll of us have experienced joy at one time or another. The uncontainable joy on his face and the little giggle that he gave each time he went down the slide were priceless. As soon as he got to the bottom, it was time to climb back up and go again. Last Friday was the first time I had gotten to see this bold streak of independence and I watched as Samuel made his way to the top of the slide, sat down, and – on the count of three – pushed off, laughing all the way down. But recently, Samuel has been having a whole lot more fun going down the slide on his own. Until a few weeks ago, whenever Samuel wanted to go down a slide, Amy or I would either hold his hand or have him sit in our laps while we went down the slide and everyone had a good time. After about five minutes on the swings, it was time to move over to the play structure where there are a whole bunch of steps, and poles, and slides. So, we walked over to Livingston Park in Manchester – close to where we live – and we hit the playground. Our eighteen-month-old son, Samuel, and I were at home and Samuel made a move toward his jacket and the stroller. Last Friday – a week before the snow – it was a beautiful Fall day. 11 / 18 / 18 – Stewardship Celebration Sunday
