The Other Side Of Heaven

Hey, how have you been?

  

This post is dedicated to Sandee of Comedy Plus, her "hubby," whose heartfelt post inspired me, and to their little dog "Little Bit," who they lost recently. Please stop by Comedy Plus, if you haven't already, and read Sandee's husbands post. 

 The Other Side Of  Heaven                                                  

We often think of going to heaven, but we seldom consider the fact that heaven comes to us.  I think it’s because we’re not paying attention to the gifts we see around us every day.

For example, people say “money doesn’t grow on trees,” when, in fact, we have oranges, apples, and the other kind of foods that literally fall from our trees, not the grocery store.

Obviously, I do know what people mean when they use that expression, it’s because man discovered long ago to charge for their hard work at harvesting their crops, plants, etc…   But, you get my point, money does grow on trees, and, in fact, it’s a gift from heaven and a gift that will keep on giving.

And I believe that after our animals or the people we love pass they return and show themselves in a different form, just to let us know they’re on the other side of heaven and will see us soon.

People also say that nothing is free, it’s another expression that simply isn’t true, for example, love is free. I believe we were born to live, love, and teach each other many things, the most of which is love, but the noise we experience in our daily routines gets in the way.

However, animals do not hear the noise, so they allow their spirits to love freely, unbounded by the restrictions us humans require of one another.

I believe domesticated animals are heaven sent perhaps to teach us how to live a life of joy, love, compassion and loyalty to the ones we love, without judgment.  

So, go hug your animal today, and if you do not have a pet, hug a person you love.

And for those of you, who, like my friend Sandee and her husband have just lost a dear friend, hug someone you know you may also be grieving a pet, and help them remember the things their pets came here to teach them.

Because, as I mentioned they are sent to remind us how to live richer lives.  

Show them that they taught you well, and you will gain strength from the treasures they gave you and remember you will see them again. -'Cause after all we're on the other side of heaven.-

God bless  “Little Bit” Sandee, and Hubby.
