Losing A Beloved Creature

Death is a hard thing to deal with when it comes to a family member, a friend or even a pet. You can turn to friends and family to help comfort you and that is a great thing. Turning to God in a time like this is even more important. No one else can understand death or why a person or pet has to die. Its hard to find real comfort in a situation like this. God is the only one who knows when death will happen to someone we love or our beloved pet that has brought so much companionship in our lives and unconditional love. I think that God puts people into our lives for a certain reason and we may not know what that reason is but when its been accomplished then sometimes its time for that person to be taken out of our lives by death or walking out of our lives. God created all things and He puts His creatures into our lives such as pets. We are charged with watching over them, protecting them and caring for them. In turn they show us love back and are great companions for us. We are meant to treat Gods creatures with respect and love especially when He has entrusted that creature to us. When it is time for God to take that creature back we need to try and give it back to Him with total trust that the time He meant for that creature to spend with us is over. We should feel very blessed to have been entrusted to being the care taker of that creature. I know its hard for a lot of people to lose a loved one and that goes for pets as well believe me I know. Our pets show us love and scenes when we are feeling sad, mad and happy. They have some kind of awareness that is in tuned to us and why shouldn't they, we are all created by God and have that connection of love. When the time comes that God is taking back that little creature from you and you know you have done the best job you could at taking care of that creature, make sure you thank God for Him entrusting you as care taker of that special creature and give thanks that that special pet was in your life for as long as was allowed. I know I will always treasure the time that was given to me with my special little creature and she will always be in my heart. Love never ends, it lives on always.
