The wolf and the lamb will live together…the calf and the
yearling will be safe with the lion, and a little child will lead them all.
Isaiah 11:6 NLT
Larry Libby’s children’s book says that heaven surely has
little furry creatures since we love them so much on earth. And heaven is a
place where we will be happy. Pets make children and adults happy.
I had a friend look shocked when she heard some of us
talking about people having souls but animals do not. We said, God breathed
life into Adam. She said, you mean I will never see my dog I loved so much in
heaven? We couldn’t tell her she wouldn’t because of the verse above and a
chapter in John Burke’s “Imagine Heaven” about near death experiences. He tells
about a child, a ten year old, who “died” in a judo accident, but was revived.
She clearly said she saw Skippy there who had died some years earlier.
John Burke, after his research, says Heaven will be a
harmonious place where past relationships, all play, and even all work will
thrive and fulfill God’s purpose, free from earth’s curse of decay and
destruction.
Prayer: Oh, Lord, thank you for your glimpses of Heaven and
all its possibilities. Help us to have faith and believe what you have promised
us. Amen.
