Having Babies, Part 2

Back in August I blogged about why we have babies. I may have discovered the answer...at least for us. This past Friday we took Steven to Chad's co-worker's "farm."

Steven having a conversation with the dog about getting on the horse before he would get on the horse.

Chad riding a horse for the first time

Talking to the donkey

And I am getting somewhere with this...

Steven running down the hill from the donkeys to tell Joe.  He ran saying "Joe! Joe!"

And then it was somewhere along here that Chad was expressing to Joe how grateful we were that he allowed Steven to come and see the animals. And Joe's response answered my question to why we have babies. He said that he enjoyed Steven coming more than Steven enjoyed it.  That's it!  Steven brings joy to the world.  I think he is a testimony to God's love and sharing Jesus to others even in his own way.  He makes me realize more and more how much we should strive to be like Jesus.  He doesn't think twice about asking to sing Jesus Loves Me in the middle of the store or ask to pray before we eat wherever we are.  He shows a level of living life to the fullest that sometimes I forget and I know the story of our Saviour.  So in a nutshell, I believe we should having children because they share Christ with others like we cannot.  Now I'm not saying Joe doesn't know Jesus because I think he does. I'm not saying Steven could share the gospel in its entirety, but who can?  He does share Jesus' love with anyone and everyone whether they choose to listen or not in his own unique way.  He brings joy like no other can and hopefully one day we will have more children that can share Jesus' love like he does. 

And to share a little more of his joy, here's so more pictures and a few videos from our visit to the farm....

Towards the end he got a little brave

And rode the horse by himself

But not for too long

And to this movie Steven said "Steven's a mess".....
