I believe we rail against death because we were created by God for LIFE. It gives me comfort to know He sorrows over the death of His creatures, too, and longs to take us home to a land where death can never visit.<br /><br />I try, Nancy Kay; that's all I can do.<br /><br />Rick hates it just as much as I do, Mary Ann.<br /><br />Only by His grace, Karla.<br /><br />Amen, Lorie!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-36472471125281314882015-02-16T16:11:53.306-08:002015-02-16T16:11:53.306-08:00I understand how you feel Michelle. As you know, ...I understand how you feel Michelle. As you know, we have quite a lot in common on this subject. All we can do is love and care for these wonderful animals as best we can, and when their times comes, have faith that we're acting on their behalf and help ease them into their rest. It hurts and it's so very hard to do, but if they could express their feelings in words, I think they'd tell us that our kindness was appreciated. My hope is that they can go to sleep with grace and dignity, and feel peace and contentment. And like you, I long for the day when we will be home, where there will be no more tears, no more sickness, and no more death. How joyous that will be! Until then, like you told me, we mourn the loss of life and are reminded that the wages of sin is death. Thank you for that reminder, they have given me a measure of peace, knowing that I hurt, because I love.

I feel so passionately about this subject that all my life I've felt there is something very wrong with the way I process dealing with death of an animal. I am hopeful that someone else such as yourself will read this and be able to shed some light on this very difficult subject. I found you through Sara’s blog “Punkin’s Patch” and have always admired the way she handles the delicate subject when one of her sheep dies, such as “Queen Elizabeth” recently. <br /><br />I am so very sorry that Annabelle is having such a difficult time of it all.<br /><br />Warm Regards, Lisa in Lake Oswego, ORLisa Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17325602859641802032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-48422097238282774572015-02-16T08:23:17.155-08:002015-02-16T08:23:17.155-08:00Amen :-/Amen :-/thecrazysheepladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10835269631172344336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-42502180111188971862015-02-15T22:03:47.801-08:002015-02-15T22:03:47.801-08:00I'm so sorry about your animals.
