I was just thinking how miserable it must be to go through life without faith.
I just got done letting my dog outside to do his business… and as he was standing on my lawn gazing back at me at the door, something overcame me. I thought deeply how I will miss him someday when he’s no longer standing there staring back at me.
But then I was comforted… because I believe that one day I’ll be able to play ball with him, run with him, give him tummy rubs, and he will be endlessly at my side… someday in eternity with my Lord.
What a comforting thought that even when he leaves me someday that my Lord will make it possible for us to be reunited. My best pal… my best friend. Forever.
How sad if I just thought that he would become dirt… and his soul and spirit would be lost forever along with mine.

I get so frustrated and confused when I hear people say dogs have no souls.
I have had dogs most of my entire life and see them all as little persons who love unconditionally.
Yet, where do we see that dogs have souls and will be with us? I sooooooo want to see all my dogs again! That would be heavenly and my view of a part of heaven.
I have just trained my dog, (he’s 10 months old today) for Service.
I will be taking him to hospitals and nursing homes for therapy to cheer people up!!!
That’s wonderful ‘Believer. Dogs are so special and have the power to put a smile on anyone’s face! That’s a great thing you are doing.
..I have no doubt our dogs will be in heaven with us; I see heaven as being a place where everything is possible and we are provided for fully by our Lord. Our hearts will be complete and that includes having everything we love with us..
Our Lord loves us.
