INTRODUCTION

ALL OF CREATION EAGERLY AWAITS LIBERATION FROM ITS CURRENT STATE OF DECAY AND DEATH

ALL OF CREATION CRIES FOR RESTORATION

The laws of animal nature were reversed in the Garden of Eden. The fall violently impacted perfect order; leaving us all to endure horrific catastrophic consequences. Upon arrival of the new heavens and new earth; a radical transformation of nature will restore peace and harmony.

Isaiah 11:6 HCSB. The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the goat. The calf, the young lion, and the fatling will be together, and a child will lead them...

IMAGERY SYMBOLIZES: A time of peace and harmony when the wolf will live with the lamb.

DEFINE: Fatling [a well-fed animal] represents a diverse group of animals that normally would not coexist peacefully.

IMAGERY SYMBOLIZES: A child leading fearsome creatures highlights innocence, purity, power and governance excellence.

GOD'S REDEMPTIVE PLAN RETURNS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO RULE AND REIGN WITH COMPASSION AND CARE FOR EARTH AND ITS CREATURES

WHY ARE WE DEVASTATED BY OUR PET'S DEATH?

[ 5 ] POINTS TO PONDER - SPIRITUAL

1. In The Beginning: Genesis 1:27 NLT. So God created human beings in his own image

   
   

   DID YOU GET IT?

   
   

   Human beings were created to be like our Father in Heaven.

2. God's nature to care, provide, protect and love animals is our inherited nature.

   
   

   Proverbs 12:10 HCSB A righteous man cares about his animal's health,. Psalms 147:9 HCSB He provides the animals with their food, and the young ravens, what they cry for. Young lions are found seeking their food from God according to Psalms104:21 ESV.

   
   

   God forgets not one Sparrow, as stated in Luke 12:6 ESV. ...And not one of them is forgotten before God.

3. Pet loving parents and children adopted this affection from God. This selfless attraction to care, provide, protect and easily love animals; mirrors the character of God who values all His creation.

   
   

4. Humans and animals both have a spirit, soul and body. Therefore, when a bond is formed between a human and an animal; a soul tie in a sense is formed. This relationship simply states: I am committed to caring for your well being and

   YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND!!!

   Pet loss is beyond grieving because of the impact that death leaves behind. The separation of soul leaves a child speechless and in shock, due to the pain they are inwardly experiencing at that pivotal point.

   
   

5. Many, unfortunately, are unaware of the precious promises the Bible offers as a resolve to help heal during this sensitive season . Lack of love, support and prayers of a community can leave the one mourning to suffer a prolonged period of time with unanswered questions.

WHY ARE WE DEVASTATED BY OUR PET'S DEATH?

[ 12 ] POINTS TO PONDER - NATURAL

1. PET GREIF: WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT? & WHY IS IT HARDER LOSING A PET THAN A HUMAN? Pets provide a deeper bond displaying a UNIQUE TYPE OF LOVE, innocence, and comfort apart from complications. The depth of our grief connects us back to the way we communicated with one another. Since our pets are restricted to speak, the human-pet connections only source of communication is sourced from our souls deepest emotions and thought life.

2. Let's be honest, the pet community has a long list why animals are easier to love than humans. The obvious is the obvious, they continue to love us in spite of us and our pets love when we mush them and baby them.

3. Humans and fur babies both are wired for community. Happiness successfully thrives in an environment of healthy relationships. Furthermore, what more perfect than a precious fun loving pet hungry for your affection and attention. A pet's separation anxiety disorder is diminished during this non-toxic holistic atmosphere.

4. This special deep bond is breathtaking, creating years of memories and doing life together the fun furry way. Our pets consistently produce pleasure, lower stress levels and fill the gap relieving us from a fear of loneliness.

5. When the pet's health starts to deteriorate; hope deferred makes the heart sick. Their absence then disrupts routine creating disorientation.

6. It is a fact, every pet has their own God given personality and way about them that can not be duplicated. During our season of grief, the thought of another pet is out of the question.

7. Pets inspire us, teach us, discipline us and drive us towards a sense of purpose.

8. Pet loss coupled with a circle of influence indoctrinated and ignorant; keeps the mourner isolated with no support. Family members may also minimize this significant season, keeping you suffering in silence.

9. When pets become family members, they trigger the same grief experienced of a loved one lost.

10. Difficult decisions needing answers during their last days is another layer of complexity.

11. Children who experience the loss a pet and are raised in a dysfunctional environment; suffer a deep deep anguish too difficult for them to bear resulting in years of unhealed wounds.

12. It is safe to say, our pets provide us a perfect place for emotional expression during difficult times in our lives. When they are no longer with us, many do not know where or who to turn to for comfort.

    
    

LESSON LEARNED

Religion is popular but the Good News is not. The Good News is: Jesus Christ is God's Lamb. The Lamb who died and shed his blood to give us hope, healing and help. This helper is the Holy Spirit. John 14:16 AB And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper [Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor, Counselor, Strengthener, Standby], to be with you forever. The Holy Spirit is called to continue the Commission of Compassion Jesus started for us. The presence of the Holy Spirit living in us signifies the unbreakable bond between God and His people. The purpose of the Holy Spirit living through us signifies the unbreakable bond between Jesus and His people. Sadly, there are many bonds that are popular, but a bond between Jesus and His people are not popular. Lastly, another point to ponder, only few are found bonding but many are found hiding.

PET LOSS TRIGGERS EMOTIONAL ESCALATIONS OF MIXED RESPONSES & REACTIONS

DOES ANYONE CARE?

YES!!! - THE AUTHOR OF LOVE - JESUS THE LAMB OF GOD CARES

A 2015 Study was Published by a Japanese animal behaviorist. Takefumi Kikusui documented the biology supporting a deep connection with pet dogs and their owners. A surge in oxytocin is experienced, similar to that between humans and infants. Our 1st Blog Post affirms why Beep Beep was our babie chickie, not just a chicken.

The trauma that triggered a 9 year old poor young child from the mountains of eastern Tennessee is staggering. On his way to school one day, his neighbor said: "Son I have a gift for you" Ronald Regan received a baby lamb that day who he referred to as: "THE ONLY FRIEND I FELT LIKE I HAD" - "MY LAMB MY FRIEND"

IN CONCLUSION:

You might be interested in reading our next Blog Post listing in detail: What not to say to a grieving pet parent or child. This is important, because when a loved one passes everyone knows the script [I'm so sorry for your loss - We send our condolences] and these phrases are acceptable.

When a pet dies.....

Um, let's just say, people definitely need to be educated.
