Who do you want to meet in heaven?

I want to talk to Jesus' half-siblings and ask them if they battled an inferiority complex. Gotta be tough when your older brother was always perfect, lolz!
And then i want to pet a T-rex, but only shortly after i give skydiving a try. Because skydiving in heaven will be so much more awesome since you know you can't die.
I think after that, i'll find a good vantage point near one of the gates and spend some time people-watching to see their initial reactions when they enter heaven for the first time.
And then i'll take cooking classes. Because i know nothing about cooking with manna, let alone all the other new ingredients up there.
I love the people watching idea! Can you imagine how much joy there will be?!

Won’t that be wonderful… No more obesity… No wrinkles… No aches and pains… No bone spurs (I know that’s crazy but I have a few). And we won’t have to take naps in order get our energy back!
I always imagine either we'll just know or there will be a way to see every step of God's plan for us to see exactly how he worked everything together. I'm excited to see that as well.

Somewhere in one of Paul's letters he says someday we will understand it all..for now, we see through a glass darkly..but when the time comes we'll see things clearly.. that's a paraphrase..will have to look up it's address...or someone who is better at memorizing such things....may post it before I can get back...

I'm going to have to find that!

My babies. I lost four pregnancies and never got to hold them. I know we're supposed to say somebody famous or biblical but those four jumped to the front of my list. When I was a child I really, really wanted to meet King David. I would also like to meet my Oma's parents. They both died before I was born but I heard wonderful stories about them.

You’re gonna see your children!

I'm most excited to see my mom, and her mom (my grandma). When I picture it, I think of us hugging and laughing and crying and praising God. My heart swells at just the thought. I'm really excited to see them in their glorified bodies. They were both incredibly beautiful in their earthly bodies, so I can't even imagine how beautiful they'll be in their resurrected bodies!

As far as Biblical figures, right now I'm really excited to meet Abraham and Sarah. I'm moving through Andy Woods' Genesis series right now and the study has really brought them to life for me as people.

My daughter, my mom, and hopefully my dad. I'd also like to meet the two siblings my mom miscarried before having me and the two half-siblings my stepmom miscarried after she and my dad married. Three of my siblings are a mystery to me as to whether they're boys or girls, but the first baby my stepmom miscarried (at 6 months) was a girl who was going to be named Crystal. I think of her often, especially now that the Rapture seems so close and I'm going to get to meet her. It's funny, here on earth I'm an only child, but in heaven I'm the middle child of five. :lol

How do we know we will see our loved ones in Heaven that were believers? I need some reassurance, please.
Many recognized Jesus after His Resurrection.
David had full confidence that he would see his son that he had with Bathsheba that passed away 7 days after his birth.
I personally believe you will see again all born again family members and friends in Heaven.

Yes! Well said.

@Kelpe I have thought about this so much recently so I hope it's okay if I ramble out some thoughts on it here. Maybe we can help each other with this.

In 1 Thessalonians 4, Paul comforted believers who were worried that other believers who had passed away had missed the rapture. Paul reassures them that in the rapture, those believers who have already passed will take part in the rapture too.

"For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord."

The main point is that we will all be with the Lord. But, I do tend to believe that when we're caught up together with them, we will see familiar faces.

And even if we aren't automatically brought together with our loved ones, we'll have a LOT of time to find them. And I think the Lord will understand our desire to do so - because just as we've been called to love Him, we're called to love each other - so He would understand more than anyone else how happy we would be to spend time with our loved ones, too.
