Things I Would "Like" To Do When I Am Healed

  -I have no idea what the future holds for me. All I know is that God controls my future and it will turn out the way He wills. So I seldom give much thought to my future. But, once in awhile, I indulge myself and think about the things I would "like" to do when I am healed. A futile exercise, no doubt, but, at least, it helps to pass time for me.

Probably the first thing that I would like to do is go for a long walk by myself. Just God and me. A time to enjoy God's beautiful creation, a time to enjoy my new-found freedom and, most of all, a time to to thank and praise God.

Because I have spent so much time alone over the years, I can't picture myself wanting to live with other people. At this point in time, my ideal abode would be to live alone in the country with just a couple of cats for company. Mind you, that easily can, and probably will, change when the time actually comes.

One thing that I really, really want to do is get to know my kids. They were so little when I had the stroke that I don't really know them and they don't know me. Now that they are adults, it will be so nice to spend time with them and get to know the people that they have become. And, of course, to get to know my dear little grandson.

One thing that I like to do right now is to read and compare different versions or the Bible. Because I do my Bible reading on the computer, it is relatively easy to find different translations of the Bible. The other day, though, I was thinking that, when I am able, wouldn't it be fun to collect actual Bibles in different translations. L readily admit that I am old-fashioned but I like books. The more, the better!

One thing that I look forward to is eating all the things that I can't right now. What I crave most is a juicy, red apple. But it also would be a treat to eat raw vegetables or a steak or nuts or hard candy, etc. But those days are coming.

These are merely a few of the things that I , personally,  would like to do. There are lots more. Every time that I allow myself to think about what I want to do, I come up with something else. Even when I am feeling mega frustrated, I can't help thinking how nice it will be when I can scream and throw things. Hopefully, though, once I am healed, I won't have any desire to do that!

  1. I personally like the Amplified version since it uses plain language and gives more detailed wording. Which version do you like the best?
