For those of you who haven't heard, our dog Jake passed away yesterday. He was a great dog that had been a close family member. I'm starting to cry just writing about him. I would tell you how I feel, but many of you have lost ones that you loved and already understand. You wish that you had hugged them just one more time, told them that you loved them and how much they meant to you. You hope that they already knew all those things. So, maybe instead of writing all that, I'll just write a prayer, one that I prayed the night before.
Dear God,
I really would love to have Jake feel better and be his usually playful self. I know that he's so sick and needs to be with you. Please let Harry meet him at heaven's gate. (Harry was my mother's dog who passed away last summer. He was as sweet and loving as Jake was.) May they enjoy each other's company and have fun playing together. Hug him when he gets there. You know how much I love him. Please take care of him for me. I know that there are people who don't believe that dogs go to heaven. But I know that you love us and that heaven is a place of happiness and it won't be happy for me unless I know that Jake is there. Thank you for letting him be a part of our lives. It was a gift and blessing from your hand to have him be part of our family. I know that you understand what it's like to have someone you love die. Please be with us.
In Jesus' name,
Lis
