Waking Up In The New System

[shikinah]

Waking up in the New System:

When I 'woke up' this morning, I didn't groan or creak
As I reached out to the nightstand, my spectacles to seek.

I couldn't feel their framework; and much to my surprise,
I saw the room quite clearly when I opened up my eyes!

I noticed when I showered that I moved a little quicker,
Then when I went to wash my hair, it seemed a little thicker!

I went to get my dentures to set them on my gums,
But there were teeth already there! Now where did they come from?

Although my hearing aids weren't in, I heard the doorbell ring!
When I went to answer it, I saw the greatest thing...

Why there were friends and family all standing around my door-
They all looked so happy, we hugged and hugged some more!

The tears were flowing freely, so happy were we all,
Then they began to fill me in on things I can't recall.

They tell me that I died way back in 1998
That I've just been asleep since then, the resurrection to await!

I'm eager for them to tell me about Armageddon's War,
How Jesus won the victory, and what happened just before!

We sing Jehovah's praises, we laugh and talk 'til dark,
They tell me 'bout the progress to turn the earth back to a park.

'How long from when I died' I ask, did that old system end?
'How far along the thousand years'? And 'What about my friend?'

Tell me names of some I knew, who died so faithfully,
Then they mentioned briefly some we will never see!

Some names do not surprise me, some names are quite a shock!
I'm just so glad that I am here as one of Jesus' flock!


Stay faithful

apologgies Shikinah

somehow i thought it was AMD who had posted that wonderful poem.
i was just trying to have a laugh with a brother.
sorry sister

yes a truly inspiring time awaits us in paradise
somewhere in scripture we are told
" no eyes have seen or mind percieved the things that God has in store for those who love HIm"

sorry for my current imperfections
God bless you Shikinah

Hi Shikinah

That was a thoughtful poem

As for waking up in the resurrection it will certainly be one of the great moments of the 1000 years, if tears of sorrow have been pored out in this system they will be dwarfed by tears of joy during the resurrection. Losing a loved one in death leaves a hole in your heart so big that’s words cannot describe, the pain never subsides, (even though you learn to live with it) they are in your thoughts daily. I think of the resurrection and I’m filled with emotion, the sacrifice Jehovah made giving his son was the greatest expression of love any father could give.

Lets us all be thankful that Jehovah is a merciful and loving God.

Peter

I'd like to say a BIG thank you to you all, but the praise doesnt go to me as I never wrote it, I dont know who did, it was sent to me. I like the way it speaks as if it were in the here and now, I could actually picture it, and to know this will actually be a reality is mind blowing.
And welcome to the forum Peter :)

Blessings

amen Shikinah it is mind blowing, and sometimes i wake up and think to myself is this real, are these things really going to happen, it sometimes all seems like a fairy story, but when i read Gods word and read everyones posts and yes WT literature and roberts essays ( imagining paradise)

Gods word, the bible.

Yes elihu what a grand privelage, to think that this priceless gift is available to everyone, yet only a few will claim it. Thats why one of my favourite songs of all time is "keep your eyes on the prize" not sure if thats the correct title, but what a lovely kingdom melody:)

Alo ha,
It was said earlier here-
"It's so good to read something like your poem after long day at pointless work...."
To this person- you have my deepest sympathy.
I have not had to do pointless work all day in my life, as I recall.
But many do. It must make life very sour to have to endure such.
I hope that soon you will awake in the kingdom of Jesus and Jehovah,
to no longer have to suffer a life of so much ongoing daily unhappiness.
To everyone else who is having a hard time living now,
I hope the same for you too.
