Pets make us laugh and teach us responsibility.  They're family and it is  tough imagining life without them. How do you handle their unexpected illnesses or injuries?  Who heals and comforts you when they pass? In this plan, you'll find encouragement and will be challenged to walk by faith in your pet's darkest moments.  In seemingly hopeless situations continue to hope and trust God's got your pet and you.

Hope in The Mourning

The Bible begins with, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty.” But clearly, that was not a problem for God. He merely spoke and the emptiness was filled with life, beauty, and purpose. This gives us hope that God will do his best work in the emptiness of our own lives. Let’s pray and ask him to fill up our emptiness.

A Biblical Perspective on Death and Life

The story of David told in 2 Samuel 11 and 12 is one of the most profound narratives in the Bible, as it shows us the power of sin, the consequence of human actions but also the great Mercy of God that He has shown not only to David and all the accomplices of the story but also, after several millennia, to our lives. This story focuses on David, the King of Israel, who fell into a series of serious sins, but who found the way to forgiveness thanks to his sincere repentance.

According to the Gallup Poll millions of people have had near-death experiences. Those who glimpsed the afterlife knew there was a boundary they could not cross and still return, so their stories should never form our theological framework of eternity.
