Calling
on all dog lovers once again!!! You guys &
gals know what it’s like to lose our best friends!!
Pure heartache! Admit, I’ve often cried more over
losing a dog than over a human even! No, doesn’t
mean I love them more – just that they are our CONSTANT
non-judgmental companions, always so eager to
please!! Always by our sides no matter, who
love us unconditionally à
truly reflective of The Father’s love!!
Generally
I try to keep my friends’ prayer requests just to myself
& pray for them on my own. Can use some help
though!! Neighbor/friend is losing her Golden
Retriever (may already pass by the time this gets
posted)
Background:
Her
Goldie has been her “lifeline” as all she has else in life
is 2 grown dd’s – I don’t know where the heck they are,
but don’t talk to her – and a grown dd who lives w/her who
is severely handicapped both physically & mentally….
P.B. takes care of her 24/7. So her Goldie has been
just the best part of her life!
She’s
just flattened by the news of cancer & not much
time! P.B. will take it SOO hard, I just hope, hope,
hope she doesn’t do something just awful!! Praying
for her constantly!! I know she’d be a gem at
volunteering w/Golden “Rescue” if she ever feels up to
it….. though I also very much understand you don’t want
“another” and have to start all over – esp. after you’ve
got your camaraderie already together w/your current
“baby”!!
I
know I can count on some of you Doves, esp. fellow dog
lovers to pray for her as well!!! She’d mentioned on
email she doesn’t know how she’s going to “go on” without
her beloved dog!!! She just absolutely COULD
NOT BE comforted when her last dog died 2 years back, and
she knew she was blessed that at least she still had this
one.
{sigh!
I just hate death SOOO much!! Both human and
beast!!}
And
for those who don’t love animals or pets much (I once read
Cary Grant was that way…. Ewww!!) Anyway,
think twice – and start learning to love God’s
creation!! Scripture says: Psalm 36:6/b
You care for people and animals alike, O Lord.
NLT
Revelation
5 has much to say about how animals WILL be in heaven and
WILL be praising the Lord!! Right along with
us!! Sooo…. Better start enjoying them now!
My
last little dog actually KNEW who Jesus was!!!! I’m
serious as a heart attack…. just don’t have time to go
into it right now.
Lisa,
you’re gonna’ love this!! I don’t know for fact, but
can very much presume that animals are going to “give an
account” of how they were treated on earth!
And the people who did not regard their beasts, who were
cruel, mean and wicked to them [Proverb 12:10
A righteous man regards the life of his animal, but
the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. NKJV]
IMHO
–
this WILL be brought up at Judgment Day & will
definitely go on their “permanent” record!! Again,
just IMHO.
Thanks
you guys for praying for P.B.!!!
I
know! I know! There are millions of
needing-to-be-loved domestic animals in the universe
(unfortunately!!) but this does not diminish the
heartache of losing a precious “family member” presently.
Thanks
again.
