I think there's scripture that backs it up on the possibility. Not everyone's going to agree but that's their call...

I had a dog that lived for well over fifteen years and had to be put down due to cancer that was pretty much eating away at her. I loved that dog and it was hard to make that decision let alone see her in that type of pain, which was probably the longest of a few months in my life. I pretty much grew up with her and she was the sweetest and LOVED to be in the company of others. She had such good qualities for a dog. It was hard to see her go and let me tell you the grief can be pretty deep and you'll never be truly ready for when that time comes. It didn't take til a few years later that I found peace on the matter and I personally think that she's okay within the experience of all of what happened. There's a peace that was never imagined or was ever there before it by the time I had that type of closure. Now I feel okay talking about it compared to just a year or two back when I would get teary to even mention of her. I hope it can be the same for my cats since my eldest one is thirteen years of age - even if there's still a few good years ahead. In the end it'll be okay. Just enjoy your pets while you can.

i think this is the verse that speaks of this:
1 Corinthians 15:39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.

Are the below verses to Peter at that time also to us all that believe as well?
Luke 22:31 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to have you, to sift you like wheat,
Luke 22:32 but I have pleaded in prayer for you that your faith should not completely fail. So when you have repented and turned to me again, strengthen and build up the faith of your brothers.”

Ecclesiastes 2:24-26 So I decided that there was nothing better for a man to do than to enjoy his food and drink and his job. Then I realized that even this pleasure is from the hand of God. For who can eat or enjoy apart from him? For God gives those who please him wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but if a sinner becomes wealthy, God takes the wealth away from him and gives it to those who please him. So here, too, we see an example of foolishly chasing the wind.

Acts 14:17 Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.

Sounds to me as a spiritual food not physical, at least as I see it.
Can't find it where Jesus said to his disciples he had food that knew not of, while they were eating this earth food. RTight before his crucifixion
But one thing I do know in my heart, we will be at total peace when there finally,
So if oyu ever of me gone, dead to earth here, say thank you to God, and welcome me to my new location, as I do all that die in Christ.

I am one of those posters, and was put here, by however anyone wants to see it.
Disabled 100%. a year and a half ago. Was not expected to live :Foreigners Gang-green: Cut open spent three weeks in Hospital, died numerous times with numerous surgeries, And lived, don't know how, yet I was willing in tears all the way to either stay or go, and still here I am
I figure maybe and not proudly, or in arrogance, I rather would have gone already, and been welcomed to my new location, free from all stress and worry, no more pain and agony.
So in short it appears God put me here to accomplish a few tasks, and at the rate I am going, I am going to live forever
Had to add a little humor it is good for the soul
So in essence I can't work, been tested by Department of rehabilitation, and it is decided for now I can't work.
Foreigners Gan-green is a disease that kills 93% of the people that ever get it, and many complications come after it if one survives it
Now please do not say you are sorry, when it reality it is a blessing for me in the long run. this is how I see it, not at first, yet now do, and am learning much from it
No matter what I just love God why? Especially since I have not had life easy. As many do not, I know I am not alone
Been shot, stabbed, lung punctured collapsed, beaten, choked to death, was dropped as dead after I turned blue in the face, and lived.
tried to commit suicide took 26 pills and did not die, woke up sick,

And today I now know God does just love me, through all tragedies, What has not killed me only made me grow stronger in my weaknesses to trust god and God only.
This big knowing happened to me at 21, my oldest Brother passed away at 33. The Autopsy found no cause physically for his death. He was found passed away on Campus Crusade for Christ, leaned against a boulder with a bible in his hand, by hikers on Sunday morning.
I had to go there and get his belongings, and talk to the Autopsy people. I went their to San Bernandino, Lak arrowhead at talked to these people, where they told me they could not find a cause physically for his death.
And then afterwards we family that is left, other deaths had already occurred, prior, Dad and Sister. I find out that John's last words to my oldest Sister, still alive, he told her he sees now, after all his life of stressing out, worried over being accepted by God or not, as in he must do this or that, he know sees that God just loves him, and he went to campus crusade and died there

So as I have decided from that point on God is real, I have grown in every tragedy, and stood for Chirs tin all tragedies, knocked down quite a few times, and then came the blogsite
FREED AT LAST. Thank you for your comment, and I got to go know and clean the bathroom
Love to you. and Sis, just bloom wherever you are planted, and relive the stress by that, pray so

That last part above was to be the word relieve not relive and was too late to fix

I have enjoyed reading your posts. They are thoughtful, well researched, and most important supported by scripture. You show a loving, humble attitude and I think you serve as a good example to many. God bless you, Brother and TY for sharing what God shows you. (as He will show all who care to learn His Word)

In heaven God will wipe the tears from the eyes of everyone. To me I would be sad in heaven if my pets were not there with me. God is the creator of all things. Surely He understands the wants and needs of His children and already has made the necessary preparations beforehand. All things are possible with God. No where in the bible have I read that His power in limited. Of course there will be pets in heaven, this is a no brainer and is not a cause of concern. First thing I am going to do when I get to heaven is take my little animal friends to our local Pet Smart and buy them their favorite treats. And new food and water dishes, and toys. When we get home we are all going for a walk on the trails of the woods. Leashes will not be necessary. Neither will be rabies shots.

or money, you think?

If that was to me, Thank you, yet please see that God gets all the credit, leaving me no room to boast. I see it as we are to help if led to do, and learn from all tragedies that are here in this life, cutting out the middle man, the thief that comes to steal, kill and destroy us by tragedies, and is why I think Jesus said:
John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world
Again, thank you and pray for me as i pray for us all to see past doing right and Mercy to us all to be in humility, humbled all in all, For I see when one steps out of being humbled, God's grace sufficient for them, many problems arise
Micah 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
[h=3]2 Corinthians 12:7-10[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

[SUP]7 [/SUP]And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. [SUP]8 [/SUP]For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. [SUP]9 [/SUP]And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. [SUP]10 [/SUP]Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

I think this is fro all believers to ponder on as this world takes on the gloss of Christ in pride and arrogance many a times unwittingly, and that be the work of the deceiver, sometimes our own selfishness, in wanting to live and not be willing to die, you think?

And Thank you again, and praying all my posts lead to trust God as ones object of Faith period in a personal relationship of the love of God that is unfathomable to this world's set up ways, do good to get good.
How many have done good and it seems have not gotten good in return? Many, as the evil only truly attacks those that are a threat to selfishness, that acts as it has compassion one for another and really does not
There are self servers
There are servers of and for others in still selfishness, expecting a return and many times are rewarded, for this and get a return here and now, yet truly is this reward a pat on the back, necessarily from God
What did Christ say about ones good works done in public for reward, if that is ones motive?

I am weak and proud of that, that I am weak a righteous proud to God, in humble crying for all those out their suffering, please see this last through it all, count it Joy, even though it seems not at the time
1 Peter 4:1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

And please see this it is not me, that ever can cease from sin, it is God than can only, by one standinf firm in the Faith especially through tragedies,
Think about that, why would one give up what they want in the long run for what they think they need at the moment?
And it is not that if you do beleive and do not do, that God will remove god's promise from you. For God is Faithful even if one does not do, that is the amazing thing about God. other people not this way, as we all experience this here in this world right or wrong?
So in response to God, I decided to serve God by Faith the same as Christ showed us all how to walk by Faith, everything he did or said was by Father, and Christ sent the same Holy Spirit of truth to all that beleive, and for us to hear Spirually with the new ears he gives us by Faith to know the truth that sets one free, and free one will be, even in tragedies, and others will be perplexed to this mystery as to why and how can one be content in the midst of the adversity they see you going through
say you are in the Hospital and dying, the nurses see you as content, okay with it if you do or don't. Does that perplex them? Not a normal reaction is it for one to be content is it?
Can you imagine Peter after the death of Christ, being perplexed as to Christ's contentment with going to death, when Christ could have fought back physically, we all know he could have and did not right?
Then three days later he hears "he's alive" runs to the tomb and finds not Christ there, walking away, how perplexed would we be viewing this through the eyes of Peter at that time.
There is so much more beyond this present darkness in this world, so much more
Love from God in the depth's
[h=3]Ephesians 3:16-18[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

[SUP]16 [/SUP]that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; [SUP]17 [/SUP]that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, [SUP]18 [/SUP]may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

So praying we all start seeing past the optical illusion of just this world into the Kingdom where God makes us citizens of, by Son alone, once you and I decide to beleive God and stand in that, not being moved from it as Paul states

[h=3]Colossians 1:21-23[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

[SUP]21 [/SUP]And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled [SUP]22 [/SUP]in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: [SUP]23 [/SUP]if ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

Yeah...also, we had to change the location, and even though my cat had just died, I STILL had to talk grad party business. Then my sister tried changing the ending time to make it earlier, and it's driving me nuts. The people OFFERED us their shelter house. She should have just left it. I made her a host so she could invite family and friends only. I thought I made that clear. I swear, I'm going to lose it if something doesn't change. I can't change a darn thing about the situation itself, and my emotions are out of my control at the moment. I'm just having to ride with them.

GAH. Lord have mercy on me.
