pondering heaven.....

We lost our kitty, Merry, this week and we are devastated.
Merry was Nevada's cat and, of course, with the death of a pet, comes the inevitable question of a child, "Will Merry be in heaven?"
We have always told the girls that, because animals don't have souls, they would not go to a heaven, but, God has promised there will be "no more tears" in heaven so we will not miss them.
However, after reading Randy Alcorn's recent book entitled, "Heaven", we are re-thinking this whole issue.
Mr. Alcorn suggests that because God so delights in us and knows the desires of our heart, why wouldn't He allow our precious pets to be re-united with us in Heaven, a place that He is preparing for US?
It's funny how easily we put God in a box, but, He created the universe, for heaven's sake, and I'm so looking forward to eternity with my Heavenly Father, seeing loved ones, and playing with dearly loved pets?
You know most of us have misconceptions about heaven.
But, in reality, I believe it will be a place beyond our wildest dreams.
Do you know that you know that when you die, you will go to heaven????
I have that assurance and you can, too.
Ask me how........
