Seekers Quest 2.25.25

Thinking of yesterday, and all the things that occurred, I am reminded of the sorrows of life. How over time we can have loss and how it can affect us. I had a friend who had to put to sleep her aging fur baby. It’s one of those moments where you’re beside yourself and you’re not sure what to say, but know you just have to be there for comfort and solace. Having gone through that myself on a couple of occasions in my life, I know the feeling she is going through. And in all reality, I don’t wish that on anybody. Yes, I do understand, it is just the loss of a pet, but to some of us a pet is not only a pet, but it is a family member, a companion in the time we feel alone, and can be a lifeline to a time that was better. A time when we felt good and alive. The memories we have made with that small creature, they gave us smiles and laughter, joy and excitement. I myself do not have a pet at this time, but I foresee myself having a dog or several in the future. Knowing that if I get a dog soon and knowing that this dog or pet could leave me before I leave this earth for heaven, and knowing that there could be heartbreak from the loss of this beloved friend, I still will accept that sorrow and the pain that will go along with that. Why? Because I believe in the joy, fun and making memories that I will carry through my life. As none of us can ever predict the future as none of us know what’s gonna happen around the corner, I don’t believe we should live in fear of what might happen or could happen. We need to accept that we live in a world where bad things can happen, and when dealing with life sorrow will occur. We need to trust God, keep moving forward and know that in the end things always work out for good. Sorrow is temporary, the memories can last forever. Please don’t let fear dictate your life or stop you from finding happiness and joy in the smallest of lives, places, or situations.

For now, I wish you all the best as you take your own path seeking you!!

II Timothy 1:7
