Ohhhh... I hear you.

And now the joy in that sound of jumping children is even sweeter.

Loved this, Shemaiah.

Oh my goodness! I can just picture this. You witnessed the joy of children being children and their joy was contagious. ❤️

I relate to this so much. In our last house, we had neighbors who played loud music in their backyard on the weekends. I had many un-Christian thoughts when their bass thumped through my house. But when their two little girls played on the trampoline in the summer, separated only by a fence, it was a gift to hear their happy voices. You've captured it perfectly!
