SO WHY IS THIS DOG SMILING?

Maybe he's one of the lucky ones to escape Mike Vick's vicious addiction. Maybe he's heard, "Every dog will have his day." Or maybe he's heard, "All dogs go to Heaven".

While all three would be good reasons for the expansive smile, too bad the last one is not true for humans. Actually, it's not too bad. For if all humans were assured of Heaven, then some may not want the personal relationship with the Savior. And it would nullify the beautiful gift from God and the sacrifice of Our Lord Jesus. The two sweetest things we'll ever receive. Well, having the Holy Spirit indwell us is pretty awesome. Well, our ressurection bodies will be pretty special, too. As well as seeing Jesus. As well as no more pain, suffering, or tears. As well as spending eternity with Him. As well as being able to be with the disciples, apostles, saints of old. As well as seeing loved ones again. As well as singing praises to God. As well as worshipping Him forever.

Wow! We should have the happy dog smile, too. All the time, when we stop to think about what's in store for us. Today and tomorrow.
