"What do you know? And how do you know it?"

Click here to listen to Dr. Joey tell his story!

I told you yesterday about my friend whose dog died and his wife and daughters were away. So his wife told the girls about the dog’s death. Their grief was buffeted by the 10-week old puppy they were sitting. And it was a unique occasion for the mom to talk about death with them.

The mom asked one of the daughters, “So do dogs go to heaven?”

The daughter thought for a moment and then said, Of course not, Mom.”

“Why do you say that?” the mom asked.

“Why Mom,” the daughter. “How can they go to heaven? Everyone knows there’s no such thing as a preacher-dog to do the funeral.”

I never really thought about it that way, have you? But to this little girl, her logic made perfect sense and she just couldn’t understand why her Mom didn’t know this already.

I’ll bet that sometime in your past, you were as sure of something as this little girl, but today, you have a different perspective. Life is like that, isn’t it? Ask God to show you the eternal perspective as you make a life today.
