A Dog Named Sierra
A man tells this story. When his little daughter's dog, Sierra, died, he patiently explained to her that Sierra was now in heaven with God and enjoying all the other animals. One night, he was next to her as she said her prayers before going to bed. In a steady voice the girl prayed: "Dear God, there's a dog up there with you named Sierra. Well, she's my dog, and I want her back!"
Jesus, I think I know how that little girl felt. A loved one dies, and we miss them. I feel like praying: "Dear God, there's a woman up there named Anna. Well, she's my mom, and I want her back!" But we know that this can never happen. Jesus, you know how difficult it is to have a loved one die. Even you cried when your dear cousin Lazarus died. What I am asking you to do is to please comfort those whose loved ones have died. Please comfort them with the realization that their loved ones are alive and well and living with you in the Kingdom of Heaven.
