Heaven for our Babies

[aggieone]

Good Morning my Friends,

I was just having coffee and watching the squirrels and birds,  thinking about my Sandy Grace.  I watched the squirrels climb the trees and play, I watched a bird perch on a limb with twigs in its mouth, surely about to build a nest for their babies.  Wow, God created these wonderful creatures, and provided a way for them to survive.  The bird builds a nest so perfectly that we as humans cannot copy or create one so refined.  The squirrels climb so quickly, and jump from limb to limb, and the birds fly!  Don't you wish you could fly or jump from limb to limb!!!!!

My point to all of this, is . . .if God took this much time to provide for his feathered creations, his furry beings and all other animals, what a Heaven he must have created for them.  I know that my Sandy Grace is in her pet heaven and having a blast running and playing.  There is no doubt in my mind.  Animals are innocent creatures and I know they are assured a special place.  Losing our babies is one of the hardest things that will happen to us, but can you imagine the reunion!!!!!!!  I still grieve for Sandy Grace, but I can smile knowing she is in heaven with your babies and having the time of her life.  If you ever doubt there is a heaven for our babies, just look outside, watch God's creatures as they survive in the world we live in, watch them closely as you will see how God has provided for them.

Jaybay, I read your post last evening, and I understand everything you were saying.  Many years ago, I had a severe reaction to contrast, and arrested four times.  Was in intensive care for 17 days.  From that moment on, I saw how green the grass is, I smell every flower,  cherrish the clouds and the sunshine.  I cherrish each day that I am here and rejoice that I awake in the mornings.

I know we miss our babies, grieve for them everyday, want them back just to hug one more time.   That is our nature as humans, but watch and observe and you will see that they are in their heaven, happy and healthy.  What a blessing!   Have a wonderful day and take time to stop, look and listen.    Aggieone

I too believe that God cares about all His creation. It even says that His eye is on the sparrow and He sees every bird that falls from the sky. If He has that much concern about a little bird, then surely He cares about ALL His creation, including us!

I know some people disagree on whether pets go to Heaven. I believe the Bible does say they have a soul, just a different kind of soul than we do. In other words, they don't need salvation because they're innocent. It also says in Revelations that some day the lion will lie down with the lamb and a child will lead them. Can you imagine what an awesome picture that is?? It means that the animals will no longer have enemies. They will all get along! Wow, how I'd love to see that! Can you imagine being able to go up and pet a lion?? What a picture!!
Have a blessed day everyone!! :)

Thank you Aggie for such a beautiful tribute to our babies in heaven.  I wish I can find that peace that Jaybay felt at the end.  I just felt empty and continue to feel it to this day when I think of my Tiffy.  I truly hope that I can join you and Jaybay in that wonderful place of peace knowing Tiffy is ok...I will keep trying to get there.  Thanks again.

I'm so glad you understood what I rambled on about in my latest journal entry.  After I posted it, I wondered if the boys in the long white coats would show up at my door.  LOL!

I absolutely believe, as St. Francis did, that any sentient being has a place in Heaven.  When Travis died we told him to go find my father.  When Chica died, we told her to go find Daddy and Travis.  The absolute peace at the end for both of them was a precious moment that I wouldn't have missed for anything.  OK, gotta go blow my nose.... :-)

What a beautiful little story.It served as a great devotional! Thank you so much . I am listening to my 3 little Basset Hounds howling in the back yard ,probably at a squirrel or bird and I too believe that God made a place for them. God loves all !  Have a blessed day!  helmore
