We cannot turn back the time

What is it with kittens, puppies, other baby animals, and baby humans that make them adorable to play with?

Is it their endless curiosity that is reflected on their faces? Or pure thoughts that are still governed only by natural needs without other intentions? Or their lack of experience with disappointments? I do not understand, but they are fun.

Let us make the time to enjoy their presence (be it babies, toddlers, puppies, or kittens) and not miss those moments, because they will grow out of it and we cannot turn back the time.

Even Jesus took time for children.

"One day some parents brought their children to Jesus so he could lay his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples scolded the parents for bothering him.

But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” And he placed his hands on their heads and blessed them before he left."

(Matthew 19.13-15 NLT)
