Rosili wanted a playground. It would be for kids of all ages. She drew pictures of slides. She drew monkey bars. She drew ropes to climb.

City workers saw her pictures. They built her playground!

Pray: Thank God for places to play. Thank Him for creative people who design these places with others in mind.

Rosili Olson was 11 when she saw some news. It was about a new playground in Utah. Rosili has two younger sisters. They are four years apart. Rosili did not think the playground was made for all ages. She drew pictures of her dream playground. She asked her mom to let her talk to Clearfield city officials. Rosili showed them her drawings. They said they could use her ideas for another playground. They built it!

“Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” (Philippians 2:4)
