"To: Randy, (and Doves) June 4th. Bucket List....A few of my thoughts on what awaits us. It's time to get EXCITED!!"


 
  Randy, I really got a kick (a good thing) from your post about what is ahead. Much can be discerned actually from various scriptures. I agree that we are going to be there any day now. I've thought a lot about it too. I think we've all wondered. I know from scripture it will be everyone's dream come true. Our deepest needs will be met. We will continue to grow in wisdom and experience. Whatever level we attained in this life will be continued. We will be ourselves in new perfect bodies. I'm going to paste a few of my thoughts from my journal about the life ahead...And keep an open mind...Holiness Changes Everything!


Body and Mind

In The Beginning

We were never meant to be Armadillos, Beavers, Ditch Diggers, or Soldiers. Meaning not for battle or hard labor.
Our new bodies will be soft to the touch. Beautiful to look at. Yet strong for living a life of adventure and activity.
Bodies created for Love, Affection, and Joy. Intellectual, Artistic and Physical Expression.
Making music, sculpture, toys for the kids, gifts for the Lord.
Singing, dancing, tennis, golf, swimming, skiing, ice skating, 
and many new activities we could never imagined now. 
To experience the Life that God has created and destined for us.
Our senses will be taken to new levels, and new ones added. 

He did not create us to be funny bodied, or fat, or skinny, unattractive by any standard.
We are going to see the epitome of His design intent in ourselves.
   New eternal bodies, everyone individual, unique, 
and perfectly beautiful. Looking about twenty seven to thirty three, forever.
Perfect proportional bone structure and muscle tone. Unblemished radiant skin. Glowing complexions. 
Cosmetics would be a detractor. Perfect teeth. Beautiful hair, always clean, healthy and manageable. 
Eyes will be uniquely deep and colorful. Revealing a person's heart and spirit, and age, as no other part of 
the body will indicate one's age, and level of maturity. No need for sleep, but take occasional rest. 
Food and dining a special pleasure, and digestion is so complete and efficient so as to convert all to energy. 
No waste is discharged. No coughing, burping, or flatulence. No discomfort whatsoever.
 Continually clean, no perspiration, No need to bathe, or shave, or brush teeth.

Mind

We will have tremendous capacities.
  New mind/brain capable of true multi-tasking...one can be entertaining the kids while working on a 
special interest project/hobby. And so much more... Making time no longer an issue. 
Unlimited learning capacity with total recall memories. Learning new skills, like music, 
languages, science, whatever interests you will be fun and come easily. 
Everyone will have their own unique sense of humor, and 
able to remember funny things for the perfect retort. 

  Telepathic communication with each other and our animals/pets. 
Telekinesis, and who knows what else. Jesus disappeared/appeared.
Walked through walls.

There will not be limits like we have now. 

How does the Lord spread Himself around?

With us, His wife, (Bride), He is intimately connected. He is aware of all others, 
but He is especially connected to us, as a man and wife would be as compared to their relationships 
with friends and relatives. Does He just sit on the throne and ?? The question is the dividing or spreading 
Himself around (so to speak). I think He will need/want to be "physically" more than one place at a time, 
of course He will always be omnipresent, and His everywhere at once capability spiritually will suffice generally, 
but we will often want to have Him with us bodily as well. Especially after we meet Him in the resurrection. 
Perhaps He will manipulate time/non-time...?? It's wait and see on this. Must keep in mind...
with God, anything is possible. Much of God's enjoyment will be watching us create, 
assisting us on various projects, and mentoring us in various situations, 
and especially fellowship. 
Just hanging out, talking, laughing as we continue on throughout eternity. 
"And so, shall we ever be with the Lord."

  The more I think about it.....the more I come to the conclusion that He will, by desire and necessity, multiply Himself physically. It's difficult to go there (in your mind) ...But like the Wedding...Who stands facing Him when the vows are spoken..? At the wedding feast...whose table will He join..? And the Bema...how long will that take if there is one of Him and a five hundred million of us..? When you combine holiness with no limitations...one can see how interesting some of these rewards might be...Getting ahead, sorry...Back to Yeshua. I know once we meet Him face to face we will want to spend lots of time with Him. Everyone will.
