Things that you look forward to the most immediately after the rapture....
.... excluding meeting the Lord which is all of our number one picks.

So start with your number 2, 3, 4th picks. Let's see what people are looking forward to... and be as specific as you can.

#1 for me, even after we've been with the Lord for 200 billion+ years in equivalent time, I'm praying and hoping that my appreciation for His sacrifice for me will be as fresh then as it is now, yet even more so... I'm hoping it will continue to grow as the years pass.

#2 would be, I'll be so happy when our thoughts and motives are cleaned. I believe that just about 99% of things we pray for or think about are tainted in some small way by our selfish thoughts and sin. Like some greasy oily film that covers a pool of pure clear water, as thin as that film is, it's still polluting the pool. I believe immediately after the rapture, that we're going to think radically different than we do now, to the point that we can't even conceive of it. That we'll truely have a mind for God. Being stuck in our earthly bodies as we are, I think after the rapture, we're going to be in for a HUGE surprise in this area.

#3 for me.... all the aches and pains and tiredness of our bodies will go away. We'll be infused with heavenly health and an unlimited supply of energy that will keep us going for eternity. No more low back pain (which is constant for me). No more joint pain. No more diabetes. No more faulty vision.

#4 of course will be the anticipation of seeing all those that passed away during my lifetime of friends and family.


That's a different kind of site to be sure...
