DP,
I feel
you’ll get many responses as many pet lovers are here who
understand the deep love you had (and still have!) for Oreo!
We are
SOOOO sorry you lost your precious companion! I
instantly teared up in remembering the heartache & pain
when we lost our precious “baby” 3.5 years ago. {furry
baby girl} We currently have a precious soul who is like
a son to us! My only concern & I pray about it often
is what will become of him at the rapture? How I hope
the Lord answers my prayers favorably & redeems him,
too!! Yet, if not, then I pray for a quick death…. As
opposed to being tormented by man or other beast. Not
pleasant to think on, yet one way or another, I can trust the
Lord that we’ll see this precious dog again, too.
Honey, you
do not need “visions” when we have His Word on it!! I
believe all true Christians who pray to see their beloved pets
again…. WILL!!!! And perhaps we will even if we
don’t think to ask for that. They gave us so much joy on
earth, why we the Lord possibly strip that from us in
Paradise? Hey, I don’t mind if I’m assigned to
clean horse stalls for all eternity! Worth it to me just
to enjoy the creatures God Himself made!!
We know for
a fact there are horses in heaven (we’ll ride back to earth
on, behind Jesus!) and we know for a fact there are 4 living
creatures. Also:
Psalm
36:6Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
6 Thy
righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Thy judgments [are] a
great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O
Jehovah.
Romans
8:
21that the
creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and
brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. 22We
know that the whole
creation
has been
groaning together in the
pains of childbirth until the present
time. 23Not only
so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit,
groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons,
the redemption of our bodies.…
And best of
all, Revelation 5:
11 Then I
looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the
throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number
of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands
of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice:
“Worthy
is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honor and glory and
blessing!”
13 And
every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and
under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that
are in them, I heard saying:
“Blessing
and honor and glory and power
Be to Him who sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”[g]
14 Then the
four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four[h] elders fell down and
worshiped Him who lives forever and ever.[i]
God
the Creator LOVES the Creation He made!! And this
certainly includes everything that has breath!! Is
He surely aware of it when even a sparrow dies??
Also,
now the following is a parable intended for King David to
recognize his own sins before God.
Even
so, read from 2 Samuel 12:
1The Lord sent Nathan to David. When he came
to him, he said, “There were two men in a certain town, one
rich and the other poor. 2The
rich man had a very large number of sheep and cattle, 3but
the poor man had nothing except one little ewe lamb he had
bought. He raised it, and it grew up with him and his
children. It shared his food, drank from his cup and even
slept in his arms. It was like a daughter to him.
4“Now a
traveler came to the rich man, but the rich man refrained from
taking one of his own sheep or cattle to prepare a meal for
the traveler who had come to him. Instead, he took the ewe
lamb that belonged to the poor man and prepared it for the one
who had come to him.”
5David
burned with anger against the man and said to Nathan, “As
surely as the Lord lives, the man
who did this must die! 6He
must pay for that lamb four times over, because he did such a
thing and had no pity.”
Pet lovers
love, love, LOVE that this little lamb was LIKE A DAUGHTER to
him!!!!
Is this not
how we treat our pets?? We love them soooo much!!!
They are family members & as such, occupy a huge place in
our hearts!! AND…. Break our hearts into tiny pieces
when they leave us.
Be
comforted, you will see your Oreo again!
