Dogs and the Pearly Gates
A dog with Purpose, Jack!
My thoughts about Dogs and the Pearly Gates
Tuesday, October 31/2006, this is the day a friend of man will leave existance. Today is the day that my dog Jack would be put down after a long life of being with my family. Jack was a dog that was born into a abusive family and eventually moved to another home to be kept with a lady who worked with my mother Marylue. From there after being neglected for a short while, Jack would move in with us where he would settle and bring such happiness to our family.
Jack will be remembered by my family as a dog that was always entertaining, in his early years dancing, rolling over, and scratching the door to go outside, all in obedience to receive a bone. I remember as time passed Jack was still seen as funny in his older days as he went blind and would run into walls and people. All joking aside, this dog was a good little dog.
I bet you are wondering, what does this have to do at all with dogs and the pearly gates, well I cannot really give you a definite answer. This is something that is a very debatable subject and I could not give you scripture to back up such opinions. Although I have a thought and a belief of my own, which I will count towards the most awesome and only God who lives. My thoughts are that God works out everything to His purpose, to His will and God never does anything without reasoning, this is why when we make our venture through the pearly gates one day, we can ask God the questions we have been waiting for.
Heres my answer to the question.... I believe that God has a reason for all and I truly believe that God sends us animals like Jack to us for the one reason of comforting us, of entertaining us, enjoying life and having fun with us. Going for walks and perhaps even talking to when we are down.
There is a reason the dog is known as the mans best friend, and that is what Jack has been to my family, believe it or not, even in his last years he was a good friend. He created much laughter as he slept most of the hours of the day.
God sent us a best friend here on earth which is dogs like Jack, so that we will have someone to be with until we are one day with our true Father in Heaven, our true friend, God. Did you know that dog spelled backwards is God, well the friendship aspect works both ways. God is almighty, He has a plan for all of the things of this earth and they are all part of Gods plan for eternity.
I love this Team lots, part of being on Gods team is acknowledging that God has a plan for everything, sometimes we don't have the answers, but for now, this is the answer I have. Someday I will get the oppurtunity to talk to mans best friend, God and ask Him these questions.
