Dear Friend,
I do appreciate you sharing the life of the most extraordinary kitty named Chester. How blessed you were to have him so many years. You blessed him by saving his life and he returned it in a gentle way unlike many kitties. My eyes want to tear up when I think of him putting his sweet head down so he could be kissed, then learning to give those kisses back. I have a gray dilute tabby named Erin, a pretty 17 year old girl kitty who does the same thing as she sits on the arm of my lounge chair. Thus far, her health is doing okay but I do know I need to prepare for the eventuality of her passing. I hate to think of it.
Again, I thank you for sharing Chester with us. When someone shares their kitty or other pet who has gone over the Rainbow Bridge it is a special thing to me. The Bible says, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints," meaning that He looks forward to His children coming Home to Heaven to be with Him always. I believe with all my heart that believers in Jesus will see their pets again, too. I do know there are going to be animals in the Heaven because the Bible says so. I have quite a few dear pets awaiting me when I go Home some day. I look forward to seeing them again.
I pray you are ready to leave this earth and enter into the Presence of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. There is but one way and that is by accepting the sacrifice He made on the cross for our sins. My works could never get me into Heaven nor could I ever be so good. It must be by HIS sacrifice, thus I cannot boast.
Take care, my friend. May you be blessed beyond your ability to contain it all...
My love to all in my Lord Jesus,
