A Moment of Comfort
00:06:09
|
|
| I received a card and this lady wrote me and she said, I just lost my mother. | |
| And she said, you had talked about losing your dog buttons on television. | |
| You just mentioned it one day. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And she said, you don't know how much it meant to hear Lori grieving over her little buttons who's been with us, what, how many years? | |
| She was just almost 17. | |
| Right. | |
| 17-year-old little thing. | |
| And I was so shocked, Lori. | |
| And this lady said, your sharing the death of your favorite pet put comfort. | |
| It gave her comfort, even though there's no comparison between a mother and a pet. | |
| But, you know, really, it's just at the same time, it gave her comfort. | |
| And then we just kept, all of a sudden, there was just so many cards that all of you sent to us saying, talking to us about your precious dogs. | |
| But, you know, we had our dogs cremated. | |
| We had buttons and bow. | |
| And so I actually brought what I have sitting right in what I look at every day at home. | |
| And so first Bobies, we called him our nickname in our family. | |
| He was a little shihzu. | |
| So we had buttons and bow. | |
| Yeah, so we always had these. | |
| Grandma Bonnie actually gave these to us years ago. | |
| And look how cute. | |
| And literally we had a little black shihu and a little white shihzu. | |
| This is sweet. | |
| This is, I just want to show you some of the cards. | |
| Isn't that cute? | |
| So so many of you sent us little buttons, like literally buttons. | |
| You know, we have like handshakes. | |
| It's right on the card. | |
| This one's right on the card, but it puts Peter and Sandra, Gypsy Rose from Pennsylvania, Pam from Ohio, Thelma Davis from North Carolina, Peggy from Indiana, just a few of the people who they send buttons. | |
| I just can't get over this lady, this is the lady I was telling you about. | |
| She says, my heart goes out to you as buttons moved on to her heavenly home. | |
| Thanks for sharing your sweet love. | |
| Real words that touched me so. | |
| My mom passed away last week. | |
| Grief is grief as Jesus washes our souls. | |
| I love you dearly. | |
| It just, it hit me that we were opening cards as we sit on our bed. | |
| Lori, now that's our favorite spot to open cards. | |
| We just sit there where it's soft and comfortable and read and read and read and read. | |
| And look at this, look at this card. | |
| Is that gorgeous? | |
| And it says, I express my sorrow for the loss of your dog buttons. | |
| It is never easy to say goodbye to them for a while. | |
| I too believe Jesus will let us have our beloved pets in heaven. | |
| Revelation says he is coming back at the second coming on a white horse. | |
| And so we are his army when he comforts us one last time. | |
| I know there's a couple people out there identify with this. | |
| This is just for you guys. | |
| All the cats and dog lovers. | |
| This lady has a bunch of cats and dogs. | |
| She just says, I never let them go off to heaven alone. | |
| I am always there looking in their eyes one last time. | |
| Oh, yeah, absolutely. | |
| I know your sadness. | |
| And I know how happy you will be in heaven. | |
| Running and playing. | |
| Jim's dog, Lucky. | |
| She remembers me talking about my dog that I had when I was a little boy. | |
| Yeah. | |
| This card here was so beautiful. | |
| Can I show you the cover up? | |
| This person prayed for me because she knew that I was sick. | |
| I'd been sick for quite a while. | |
| And it's a long card. | |
| I read every word of it. | |
| And it just poured in, as the song sang, the wine and the oil, the kind that restoreth your soul on the Jericho Road. | |
| And this card has nothing to do with dogs, this next one. | |
| But I have to say it because it came from Dr. Susanna, director of the Christian Friends, who led us into the Yavasham when it was no longer allowed to take pictures. | |
| Oh, wow. | |
| Is that that lady? | |
| This is Susanna. | |
| Oh, she stays in touch with us all the time. | |
| Oh, yeah. | |
| And it was one of my favorite moments. | |
| It was walking into that museum. | |
| It was the highlight of what we were filming because we got to see your heritage, but we also got to see Corrantin Boom's heritage on what happened in those days. | |
| That lady was the sweetest. | |
| Thank you so much for letting us film there. | |
| That was very kind of you to let our partners in through the cameras to be a part of that moment. | |
| That's right. | |
| So this is an actual oil painting of one of the little girls that was killed in the Holocaust. | |
