Wow. Glad you came through it all safely. I have entrusted my life to Christ to save and keep me, I have also put my trust in Him to keep my animals. And I liken my pets to myself as Jesus tells me I am His sheep and He is my Good Shepherd so am I a shepherd to my fur babies as I care for them and keep them safe. God is a God of order and He is Love and based on His nature and attributes He constantly cares and provides for me so I know He will care for my babies. After all, they are His. I believe my kitties will go with me and I am settled and at peace with it China backs two state Jerusalem capital solution. Between this, the increasing ufo discussion, and increased talk of Ukraine joining NATO, it sure doesn't seem like there's much time left. It's very easy to see how God's removal of the restrainer (His Holy Spirit in the Church) will allow for a vastly different world in the blink of an eye. :amen: Our pets are good gifts from the Lord. We volunteered to be stewards over them when we purchased them at the pet shop or from a local breeder or from a shelter and that doesn’t end in this life but continues on in the next life as well. :yes: Genesis 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. James 1:17 Psalm 36:6 … … O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. Preservest means to keep from decay … that is only promised to a born again believer and their pets. Matt 7:7-8 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Thanks. We don't need to purchase pets. We live on a family farm with lots of outside "farm cats" we feed. Sometimes one comes strolling in and says I live here now. Oh, ok.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
