1. What things came to your mind in reading this study? Do you believe we will truly have mansions in Heaven, or is it just what you regard to be a more materialistic interpretation of things "too good to be true"?
The bible tells us that we have rewards waiting for us in heaven depending on how we lived our lives here on earth These rewards could be interpreted in many ways. Some of those rewards consist of crowns and treasures including places to live. Although the KJV uses the term "mansions." other bibles call them rooms or dwellings.
I would personally be happy with a small wooden house with gardens of multi-colored flowers including daisies and wild flowers, daffodils, hydrangers and dahlias, fox gloves and Sunflowers. At the front of the house there is a white picket fence and a path leading into the forest to a grotto with a waterfall.
2. Are you the type who likes spending time with children and animals? If so, what would you enjoy most about being in their company?
I would be looking forward to catching up with some of my Sunday school and bible in schools students if they got there before I did. The bible tells us that unless we are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. So I think children can teach us a lot about innocence and trust. I love dogs particularly so I will be looking for my dog (border collie boxer cross) and catch up to the dogs that my family had which included 10 hunting dogs, a miniture collie, dalmation, english cocker spaniel and foxy.
3. If you could spend time with anyone in eternity, who would it be? Friends, family, animals, angels, children, prophets, the Lord Himself (as much as possible) or maybe other Bible characters you know from history?
Jesus.
4. Scripture says He gives us the desires of our hearts, so what would your ultimate dream home be like in Heaven? Post pictures of the kind of mansion, rooms, furnishings etc. you'd like to have in your home in eternity.
