Kitty Heaven III

We had a ferel cat come up

when I was feeding Mo Cat

outside. I started feeding him

too. He had a nice personality

and I just loved his coloring.

He was so trusting.

I named him, Sandy Cat.

When he became trusting enough,

I took him to the vet.....

I was sad to find out he had heart

worms, his teeth were rotten,

and his heart was not in very

good condition to be such a

young cat. Mom said we didn't

have the money to take care

of him. So my first encounter

came with having to take an

animal to the Humane Society. I

prayed that someone with

money would adopt him

and take good care of him.

My heart broke when I left

him in the little courtyard

they had for them. He wanted

to go with me. The look in his

eyes was one of....my betrayal!

I cried all the way home.

It was hard for a 17 year old

to leave behind

this beautiful natured cat. I

knew in my heart they would

check him over and he would

be the first to have his life

taken due to his condition. I

should have just taken him home

and let him die of natural causes,

but mom said we wouldn't

know what pain he may have

gone through. I really should

have had the vet put him to

a peaceful sleep with me by

his side. I could only think of

the worst scenarios he must

be going through at

"the place" where most animals

are put down.

*

This is what makes me think

that our loving Lord would not

allow his creatures to go through

such hardship and there not be

an afterlife for them in God's

New Heaven and Earth.

"For all of God's Creation itself

will be delivered from its bondage

of decay and brought into the

Glorious freedom of the

children of God." Romans 8:21

*

I have had people say, "This new

earth would not be big enough to

hold all of the animals God has

created." My reply, "Who says

our earth will be the same size as

it is now? The New Jerusalem

that is to set upon the newly

created earth is to be 1400 miles

wide, 1400 miles long, and 1400

miles high! The space shuttle is

only 200 miles high! This new

City of God needs to go up 1200

miles higher!

*

God has said, "Eye has not seen, nor

ear heard, nor has it entered the

heart of man, what God has planned

for those who love Him!"

*

I believe with all my heart we will

not only see our beloved pets

again, but the beauty of all of

His animal kingdom in a fashion

we can't now comprehend!

*

With God, ALL things are possible!
