Crib of Bethlehem

CRIB OF BETHLEHEM Do all pets go to heaven? Do they all cross the rainbow bridge? Do you have to love the stuffings out of them? Pay the toll bridge? Are they puppies or full grown crops? How will we know it’s them? Will they be found by our Savior’s side — by the crib of Bethlehem? Will we find ours, intact with an appetite to be our playmates? Did they follow the light? Did they make it through the pearly gates? Those sucker-punched, bruised and broken - surely God them? Surely your cross trembled in the woods next to the inn of Bethlehem? Dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, parrots - do they have souls? Turtles, fish, snakes - do some face the fiery coals? Do all pets go to heaven? Are they purehearted blessed? Surely Lord, as the royal tables laid, they’re found in your rest? 8/17/2020 Contest: All Pets Go To Heaven Sponsor: Constance La France
