This year one of our dogs passed away. It was a very difficult time for our family, but we are slowly getting over it. However, both my husband and I feel like we miss her almost daily. Every time I find myself missing her, I remind myself that I miss her because she brought so much joy into our lives.
We put up our Christmas tree this weekend. Every year we buy a special ornament for that year. Sometimes we get a couple. The ornament symbolizes that year for us. Today we put an ornament on our tree with a picture of our dog that has the year and says “Forever in Our Hearts”.
I am starting to realize that it’s okay to remember her. The love didn’t disappear when she died. It is still living inside of my heart. And I guess that’s the most important part for me. People create religion trying to understand what happens when we die. God isn’t going to share that answer with me, but He tells me that through Jesus love I will find life everlasting. Through love I will find life everlasting.
My faith saved me. May God’s peace reside in all of our hearts.
