Thank so much.
I believe that too...that our beloved pets will be with us in Heaven. I take that belief from Scripture, which says paraphrased, that God will give us whatsoever we ask for in love.

Earthly Happiness is transitory, but your joy in Lord is eternal.

I'm happy for all He has Blessed Me with in My Life, a beautiful and loving Christian Wife,5 beautiful Children, and 7 beautiful Grand children. I have great Christian Friends and a Godly Mother and Father who are both still alive, along with two brothers and one sister, they are not living for the Lord but I pray for them all of which still give Me great Joy.
It's not to say that I have a problem free life , I don't live in Shangrala....but I do Have a friend in Jesus to help Me through My troubles.Glory to God, Precious Is Your Name In all the earth...Dave |

Hehe yeah, at least I'm not hitting on guys, but its still a major sin to lust after a girl, especially in Church. I'm way better though - I rarely have such thoughts in Church but I still get distracted by their beauty but it is a far improvement from the dirty thoughts I had, even during service, when I first started going a few months ago.
Like I say, looking at beautiful girls is OK even in church as long as we guys are not nurturing thoughts of sex. Its the way guys are made, we have to look at girls can't help it, so why fight what we were made to do?

My name is tiffany
I am a born again christian.... i was an athiest for over 10 years, i was a heroin addict, addicted to sex, i was a prostitute. I hated myself, my life, what i had become, i hated the word, i was on the brink of insanity! I tried many times to get close to god and i wouldnt let myself, the world blocked my soul, sometimes the words would disgust me, i would deny him. I was gently pushed, i asked god to open me up to him, and he gave me the holy spirit, OH YA I AM HAPPY! MY life has changed, i am changing, I am becoming what God wants me to be. I am overjoyed, at peace, happy. LOVE ME |

It is spellbinding seeing the Lord work in individuals that are on Rock bottom and How He can Bring them out of the literal pit of death , the muck and the Mire of the world and bring those souls to the Saving Knowledge of Our Lord and Savior the true joy in this is that it's Not that You know You are saved But You have great and exceeding Joy in Your New friend in Christ.
We all know people who will admit that they never had a Joyful or Life changing experience in the Lord . They could go to Church their whole Life and only go through the Motions and really never experience the True Joy of having Christ in their heart and Life..Not that these souls are not all saved but they just are not sensitive to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and perhaps not letting God work in them.
Tiffany You are truly one of Christs own and You have Truly been Blessed By His Holy presence with Joy in Your heart Praise His precious Name Alleluia and alleluia ..You have been given the Gift of Joy Tiffany, Look after that Gift and Nurture it by sharing Your testimony with others and May Your Joy never leave and When He takes You up to Heaven There will be Joy that nothing on earth here can equal.....The Angels are rejoicing even now after the Great day that Your Salvation was complete thousands upon ten thousand sing Praises on Your behalf Tiffany, May God bless You and Keep You and May His Face shine Upon You a Child of the King...Dave`  |

Do material things, wealth or positive situations make you happy? If they do then it will be a fleeting moment of happiness followed by the discontent.
Or do you know that you are happy because of something spiritual inside of you which brings you contentment, peace and joy regardless of the circumstances in which you may find yourself? The joy of the Lord endures in both good and bad circumstances.
“Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
AMEN!  I have learned to rest in the Lord and be content in what ever circumstance he chooses to place me in. Praise and Glory be to HIM always and in all ways. HE alone makes me joyfull and happy!  | | |
