Pests

Fleas

If you love your pets, you hate fleas. I sometimes wonder what the good purpose is for fleas. Mosquitoes fall into a similar perplexity.

Why did God create fleas? Maybe it was to provide a livelihood for the good people that fight them… The chemist, the exterminator and the retail clerks that sell flea treatments.

God is way smarter than me. He assures me that bad things happen to quantify and qualify good things. He explains that ALL things happen for the greater good of Heaven.

He tells me that He loves me and to be patient. He tells me to let Him do the worrying and for me to focus on Jesus instead!

Mosquitoes

The Bible tells me that I will make it to Heaven. I look forward to that!

There’s a lot that I love and would miss from this world but there are a few things that I wouldn’t miss… Mosquitoes for example. I won’t miss mosquitoes. In fact, I expect Heaven to be void of mosquitoes. I believe that I may be celebrating not having to deal with mosquitoes! Either that or else I simply won’t recall them. But if I do recall, I look forward to speaking with Jesus about mosquitoes.

I want to know if He ever got bit by one. And if He did, what did He think about it. Did He smack it and complain like I do or did He tolerate its feeding on Him and wish it well?

And most importantly, am I in trouble for smacking every mosquito I could. I never wished them well.
