This list has nothing to do with enduring in faith and hope… These are things that I wonder about because they’ll never be answered in this life, and I just wonder about them. If you are like me, I wonder about what will happen after we die, especially when we are resurrected. I had posted this previously and received some answers, so I decided to take it down, but I know there are many questions that cannot be answered right now. I do look forward to seeing what will happen. There are so many things that I don’t know, the answers only fill in a portion of what I am asking. So here it is again, unedited. Enjoy.
1- When we are resurrected how do we get our babies to be with us?? Peter says this is exactly why we have the stork, to help deliver them. That at least makes me smile. I wonder if we will get resurrected while we are holding them, it makes it easy if you’ve passed on too... I can’t imagine the line as Heavenly Father/Jesus Christ hand them to us, which is another way I’ve thought it could happen. The problem with this is it could possibly take the entire Millennium to get all the babies handed out to the correct parents. Then add if you’ve had a miscarriage, do you end up automatically pregnant with those little lives? I have no idea how it will be, but it is something I like to imagine and think about. If I am holding Archie in the spirit world before we are resurrected, I am not handing him over to anyone, except maybe Peter. I would love to have us all 3 resurrected together.
2- Where will we be resurrected? It would be easy if we are resurrected by our graves, though I honestly want to be cremated. I am a bit claustrophobic because of being trapped in a sleeping bag as a kid. I have no desire to have my body reside in a box covered with lots of dirt and such. I figure you can dump/sprinkle me over Peter and Archer’s graves, and I’ll at least be in the same vicinity, depending upon how strong the wind is that day.
3- I know that we will be doing temple work and such in the Millennium, but I want to take Archer to the library, go on hikes, camp, play, and do the things we’ve missed out on here. Sorry, but I am going to play with him. I also plan on eating normal pizza, lasagna and other things that make me sick here because of a crummy digestive track. It is kind of like what Aunt Bette wants to do, take a nap on a cloud. Uncle Max tends to tell her that won’t be necessary because we won’t need to sleep. Aunt Bette feels it won’t be heaven unless she gets naps. It is how I feel about everything I just listed. For those of my friends who have had babies/kiddos pass away too, you are invited to my play group!
Peter and I talk about these things, and I think my questions frustrate Peter. 😊 Welcome to his world, you get to know some of the weird things Heidi wonders about. I don’t have a problem with postulating though, it doesn’t destroy my faith to not know the answers. I know these things will get figured out in the next life. I am curious by nature though and daydream about things like this now. I have played these scenarios out in my head. I know I can’t be the only one to wonder about this, though the answers won’t be found in the Gospel Library’s frequently asked questions.
If you wonder how things will be, I want you to know you aren’t the only one.
