Ducks


Do ducks go to Heaven?


Our little duck’s heart finally died. That duckling wasn’t growing at all while his brothers and sisters shot up. His chest would heave as he breathed, and today my sister Jessie found him dead, his body stiff, his beak and legs purple. We had a little funeral for him. My brother, Elijah, prayed, "Dear God, please help this duck have lots of fun in Heaven with You."

I don’t know if animals do go to Heaven, but I’d like to think that our menagerie of little innocent creatures do.

  1. I'm not really sure. :) I know that babies do... It's always so sad when pets die :( Hope you guys feel better about it. Jesus loves you! :)

  2. Yeah, I know that babies go to Heaven. And I'm not sure if animals do, but they are without sin so maybe...I don't know. But I know that animals are IN Heaven.
