I wanted to come in real quick before I close the door to leave, and leave a verse in Romans, but I was so touched by this encouragement, I had to say -AMEN to it with ALL MY HEART! I love it when we spur one another on in love and good deeds and it is actually love and good deeds! This is real fellowship my friends - real fellowship. Thank You Deade, as always, I see your light shining thru again! Now before I forget my verse I came in to drop off:

Scripture Reading: (Romans 8:35-39):

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:

"For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus Our Lord.

Let us continue to "Wallow in His presence" here in this thread and see how much He draws all men to Himself! ... "I had faith he was going to say that," exclaimed I. "Yeah, myself included, I had faith he would say that too" shouted myself. They don't need to hear you guys yap, they already heard it from me. (my way of saying, becc, we are praying for you too today!). LOL

I'm placing this scripture here in agreement with you. This verse has been around me for some time in relation to this thread. :)



Let's lift Him up in praise and worship together! Lord we praise Your Holy Name!

I sure hope Rainbow Bridge is real, and not just a myth made up to make grieving pet owners feel better.. :(

That must be the place where all of the good animals go. Not a sparrow falls from the sky that the Lord is not aware of. I'm sure little Purple will be well provided for. Probably munching contently on kibble right at this moment. Purr...

My little girl just lost a kitten we named "Honey" in January. I'm sure Honey and Purple Prince are fast friends and having a wonderful time. :)

I, too, have wondered about my pets that die.................the conclusion that gives me peace (and what I told my daughter) is that on Earth it's like a pet store and we get to pick the pets we want to have in heaven. We get to play with them for a little while, then Daddy takes them to a special place so we get to pick another pet..... this cycle may repeat often.

Eventually, when we die and go to heaven, we get all our pets back and they're ours forever and there's no more death! Daddy so loves to give His children gifts!

So, enjoy your time in the pet store! You are loved, Purple is loved and Daddy knows what He's doing. :)

You wrote a very touching post. Daddy loves us so, and our little furry ones too. I take comfort in this.

Although I still murmur and complain, I know that the correct response is to give thanks for everything.
Correct, yes. Easy, no.

Don't give up! Keep trying! Eventually, you'll be thanking God that you don't complain and murmur anymore!!!




Something that helps me is .......... to tell that spoiled rotten little bratty selfish "flesh" to "SHUT UP!" because my "spirit" would like to give thanks to God! :)

I don't even know why I'm so upset. I was soooo excited yesterday to see them all born. :) And soo sad today when I found out that little Prince died, and no real reason why. :( It wasn't even MY cat..lol.. I was so hoping that every kitten from all 3 mama's would make it and be healthy and strong..

What irks me right now is that Shelly still has the camera on Ramona and the kittens. I'm sick of seeing them. Shelly said Chloe's gonna have hers any time. I WANNA SEE CHLOE. lol

I've often wondered this myself. Here's some scripture to consider:

Shelly just named the kittens. She asked for name suggestions on FB, and since Mama's name is Ramona, she went with the Beverly Cleary book series "Ramona Quimby".. The girl kitten is Beezus, and the boys are Huggins, Quimby and Ribsy.. :)

It would be just great if we could be reunited with our long lost pets in the Kingdom. They have taught me so much about love. I just pray the Lord makes me over to be like my dog thinks I am.
