I agree there will be tea up there and hot cocoa and I reckon 🙄 .. coffee too. The leaves from the Tree of Life is for the healing of the nations. So whether it’s brewed into liquid drinks like tea or just chewed or perhaps chopped up and baked into brownies or cookies, etc. :whistle: Just because angels eat Manna (corn from heaven) they have a different body from us. Or perhaps they REALLY prefer that corn and they eat it not just corn on the cob but they eat corn flakes cereal, corn muffins, corn chowder, corn chips, popcorn :popcorn , etc. If there are corn fields in heaven why not the other grains … wheat, barley, oats, etc.? The meek shall inherit the earth … so we can go back and forth from heaven to earth anytime, right? When the earth is restored I expect the other grains to be growing on the earth and not just in this sinful curse environment of today. No way is this current situation going to be better than the next eternal life promised to us. So I still think we will have access to various flours to make and bake things like pizza, various pasta meals. There will be cows so they will still be producing the milk to make mozzarella cheese, there will be tomato plants so I expect ketchup and tomato sauce to be available. Olives from the olive trees, chopped up peppers from the pepper plants, etc. I see lots of Italian meals in the next life. Also Mexican nachos … with the corn chips and the melted cheddar cheeses, avocados, olives, tomatoes .. and tacos. I expect various breads and bagels with butter, cream cheese, jellies, jams, peanut butter, etc. to still be available to enjoy. Check out the prodigal son story in Luke 15 He represents being lost and then repenting and being saved and restored to the family. In celebration of his return and sorrowfulness … his father accepted his forgiveness and rolled out the red carpet and gave him a robe, a ring, shoes/flip flops and … the father said to bring the fatted calf not fish at the banquet table. Soooo we really could be eating cheese burgers, steaks, prime ribs, filet mignon … we have to think outside of the box. B-) 20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. 22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: 23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: 24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. I expect various breads Bread is such an important item in the Scriptures, not just for sustenances but metaphorically. I cannot imagine it being absent in the life to come. the father said to bring the fatted calf not fish at the banquet table Good point! 😁 I believe we will be eating more than just manna. When Jesus appeared to His disciples after His resurrection He ate with them. Yep, our new glorified bodies we don’t have to eat if we don’t want to … we can skip a meal and still have that energy but that doesn’t mean we can’t eat. Those that love to eat can meet together for gatherings and not have to worry about calorie counting or have fear if the food will cause a stomach ache or whatever. I expect sugar cane fields .. so how about some jelly donuts and other variety of donuts and other pastries for breakfast or bagels with scrambled eggs. There will be chickens and hens .. do they stop laying eggs? I doubt it. And there will be ice cream … and … chocolates and caramels and jelly (aka candy) apples/ caramel apples with chopped nuts, caramel popcorn, cracker jacks with molasses, etc. roasted sunflower seeds (my favorite now is Davids sweet and spicy) its so addicting! Roasted pumpkins seeds .. Mmmmmmm, donuts! B-) And how about pancakes and my favorite …. waffles with ice cream? That was a meal in itself … we would come home from church Sunday night and my mom would quickly make the waffle batter and get out the waffle machine and make the waffles and it was served with ice cream … and we ate ice cream sandwiches for a late dinner. Mmmmm … I miss those fun times and expect this tradition to continue on the eternal side at her place. All are welcome. :yes: Waffles and ice cream! Now that sounds GREAT!!!! Your mom is a saint, or as we say down here, a real peach! They come out of Holland and there's only 200,000 worldwide so it's a small sect. I worked with a whole group their good people and hard working but very tight w/ their money. Their younger people when they are rebelling, they will use cuss words too much for the situation & out of context. Generally, they don't know how to swear. They have a lot of repression. My boss was a strict CR I worked for around15 years, so I got to know their ways. I was an outsider & we would meet for coffee at Cracker Barrel every morning & afternoon on slower days. At first the group wouldn't make room for me at a round table but somehow squeezed in another chair when another one of theirs showed up. After a year they accepted me as one of the guys. At that time, I wasn't very much into godly things, so I didn't stretch any of their thinking in godly ways. Now when I see someone I use to work with, they are amazed in how much I've changed.
