I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to takeโฆ
Mommy...
Yes Amanda dearโฆ
Does God really exist...
Well yes baby, of course He doesโฆ
How do you know mommy...
Well Amanda, let me tell you a storyโฆ
When I was about your age, maybe a little younger, I asked your mamma the same question. Is there a God? I asked this question, because on this particular night the Lord God took my daddy home to Heaven. As a little girl, your mamma told me this, and I didnโt understand what Heaven was. So each cloudless night, I would walk over to my bedroom window and gaze up at the sky. And every time I did so, I would have it in my mind to name a new star that I would pick out. Those would be the names of new puppies that daddy would own at his home in the sky. After a while, I began to see shapes in the stars. As I would watch them, occasionally one would wink at me. And whenever it did, I would smile and say, Thank You daddy, I see you tooโฆ
Now after a long while, when I grew up, my mommy went up to be with daddy as well. On that day, I really really cried. Because see, daddy by this time had owned all the stars in the sky. I was very very sad that mommy was up in Heaven with no puppies. Then, on a warm summer night, like tonight, daddy whispered to me from Heaven and saidโฆ
Charlene โฆ Charlene, there is no need to shed any tearsโฆ
And then I asked why?
And my mommy saidโฆ
Because my Brother Jesus just gave me a whole litter of kitty cats of my ownโฆ
So you see Amanda, there is a God, and His Son is Jesus. He saves littles puppies, and little kitty cats, for you and me to give to loved ones when they go to Heavenโฆ
Mommy, when Uncle Jesus gave the kitty cats to mamma in Heaven, did you name the kitty cats?...
No sweetie honey. I left that for you. Here, letโs go over to the window togetherโฆ
I think Iโll name that one โฆ Tabby!๐๐ฆ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฆ๐ญ๐๐๐
