what do you think we will be doing in eternity?
I often wonder this. I think our lives here are practice ground for learning how to love the LORD first and others. So makes me wonder what he has planned in eternity for us.
I'm not one of those people who think we're all just going to sit around resting and patting wild animals...not that there's anything wrong with that. I just think with the LORD being the Master planner, the Creator of all life, the many universes...there must be more.
I'm one of these people that love the idea of exploring the stars, the many planets and universes, so i love programmes like Star Trek, Stargate, Firefly, or anything which imagines other worlds, or uses our imaginations...like LORD of the Rings, and yes even Harry Potter. I have probably scared off lots of Christians with that revelation.
I'm excited by anything which involves battles of Good vs Evil...Harry good vs evil. Sorry, I don't mean to offend anyone. I'm reminded of 1 Corinthians 4:4...my conscience is clear but that does not make me innocent it is the LORD who judges me. So lets agree to disagree and let the LORD sort it when we see him :-)
So in my mind we are involved in Interstellar exploration, overthrowing principalities that we know nothing about, fighting spiritual wars, and using so much more than the 5% of our brains that we use at the moment. To be able to create, or work with the LORD on many other creations he has....so many many possibilities.
But because we're all so different other people, not like me, must have different images of heaven...what would you like heaven to be like? What do you imagine we will be doing in eternity?

Ah my friend Tali, you bring a smile to my face. Heaven....oh sweet divine Heaven....we will see Him face to face! We will have meals with Him at the same table. There will never be any more darkness, He will be our light. The Bible says there will be streets of gold and rare jewels and wow! He said He is going away to prepare a room for us! A room for each one of us....I always imagine that of course our rooms will be the desires of our hearts! Imagine that---we desires of our hearts satisfied here and then for an eternity!!! woo hoo!
My friend, I am also a Sci-fi fan and I love the battle of good vs. evil. I am a Trekkie, Battlestar Gallactica, Lord of the Rings,Harry Potter fan!!! woo hoo!
I do believe we will be able to see the stars and planets up close....There will be no DO NOTS in Heaven.....there will be no Do not touch, do not taste, do not smell, do not eat, do not feed, do not walk/park/breathe....lol, everything in the Heaven above will be available to us and for us.....Can you imagine what the food tastes like up there???? with all its imperfections food is pretty good down here---imagine what PERFECT food is going to taste like!!! Also, the praise and worship---can you see the look on King David's face when he sees and hears what we here have done with his Psalms???? Do you hear the worship now???? Do you turn on a radio or stick in a CD and hear the worship---does it not take you to HIM? Does it not bring you joy? What will it do in Heaven? OH my goodness.....
I CAN ONLY IMAGINE,
I can only imagine
What it will be like
When I walk
By Your side
I can only imagine
What my eyes will see
When Your face
Is before me
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
[Chorus]:
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for You Jesus or in awe of You be still?
Will I stand in Your presence, to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
When that day comes
When I find myself
Standing in the Son
I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever
Forever worship You
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for You Jesus or in awe of You be still?
Will I stand in Your presence, to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine, yeahh
I can only imagine, yeaahhh
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for You Jesus or in awe of You be still?
Will I stand in Your presence, to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine, yeahhh
I can only imagine, yeah
I can only imagine, yeah
I can only imagine
I can only imagine, yeahh
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
When all i will do
Is forever
Forever worship you
I can only imagine...

I still have no idea what i will do when i first meet our LORD, i will do all that song says...dance up the path way...jump up and down...then see him and stand still in awe, then fall on my knees!! I'm looking forward to the best hug ever!!!
I think my Dad is up there in the LORD'S choir...he loved to sing hymns in English and Samoan with Mum while driving us around on long road trips. I can just imagine him singing with the angels...imagine their voices...wow!!
