DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS
BEYOND DEATH, THE GRAVE??
We have seen all sorts of chaos around
the world and I don’t mind admitting it’s
scary. The lives lost, snatched so suddenly
away through good or bad causes shows
us that humanity is in turmoil and as I see
it completely lost its way and purpose. I
hasten to add that there are some people
out there who, like me, stand amazed and
horrified at what has happened and yet
have a peace within themselves that it will
all come to an end soon!! So if your life, for
whatever reason, was snatched from you
what do you think or understand happens
to you beyond death, the grave??
What is within me and others that
brings “peace” to us in amongst so
much chaos and hatred? It’s my
relationship with Jesus. Many people don’t
know who He is and have only heard the
name as a swear word but He is, “the
someone” who brings hope and peace to
me on a daily basis now and for beyond
death, the grave. In the Bible Jesus spoke
about things that would happen in the
future.
Here’s a selection of verses from Luke
chapter 21: “Nation will rise against
nation, kingdom against kingdom, there will
be great earthquakes, famines, pestilences
in various places and fearful events and
great signs in the heavens”. Jesus went
on to speak about many other things that
would happen, but in verse 28 He says
“When these things begin to take place
stand up and lift up your heads because
your “redemption” is drawing near”.
“the saving of someone from error or evil
as being “a thing”, BUT for me the Bible
teaches in 1 Peter 1 verses 18-21 that
“you know that it was not with perishable
things such as silver or gold that you were
redeemed from the empty way of life,
(errors and evil) handed down to you from
your forefathers but with the precious blood
of Jesus Christ, through him you believe in
God who raised Jesus from the dead and
glorified him and so your faith and hope
are in God”.
Faith and hope in God for what? In
John 3 verse 16 Jesus says “For God so
loved the world that He gave His one and
only begotten Son Jesus, that whosoever
believeth in Him shall not perish but have
ETERNAL LIFE”. It’s eternal life with Jesus.
John 11 verses 25 – 26 Jesus said “I am the
resurrection and the life, he who believes
in me will live even though he dies and
whoever lives and believes in me will never
die”. These words, often used at funeral
services, are my assurance, peace for now
and hope in the future after death, the
grave. Jesus asks “Do you believe this?”

I don’t know if you are aware of the Facebook
page for re-homing of animals in the Murcia
region. We were looking at it a couple of weeks
ago and Vivien Wharton had written that she
had witnessed a donkey being abused by
a couple of ‘local’ men. She saw the owner
and complained to him only to be told that as
it was not a dog they could treat it however
they wanted to. She was also offered the
donkey for a price of 100€. This was put on
the Facebook page and within an hour there
were enough pledges of money to buy him, but
she had nowhere to keep it. We stepped in and
offered our services and a stall in our donkey
stable. We went to collect him the following
day and found that he had suffered 15 cuts to
his body and legs. He has never been seen by
a farrier and his front hooves are overgrown.
His jaw seems to have been broken at some
time as he has problems eating. His front teeth
are also misaligned. He was transported to our
home where he settled down after a day or so
and now runs round the paddock with Lola our
first donkey, Minty our rescued Sheep and Babe
the Potbellied pig. We have posted pictures on
our web site and also on our Facebook page.
Please take a look.
We have still dogs waiting for new homes. All
can be seen on the web page.
We are having a Sherry and Mince Pies afternoon
at our shop in Fuente Alamo on Thursday 22
December, and also a Christmas Lunch on
Tuesday 13 December at Bali Hi Camposol.

What is “redemption?” The dictionary
puts it like this “the action of redeeming
someone or something or of being
redeemed, a thing that saves someone
from error or evil”. The dictionary terms
