2 storys, 2 bedrooms a nice garden for me and my husband, and a living room, and a nice place with a bonfire that Bible times people can talk to us and tell us their story

An encouraging talk for you my sister. May Jehovah bless you ❤️

( I am not a social person, I do not like large gatherings of people and I prefer to be alone ) 

 

 However , for reasons unknown to me-

 

In my mind.... My Paradise house will be absolutely huge. Massive.  It will have a huge green front lawn with coconut palms growing at various angles framing the home.  It will be 2 story with courtyards. Instead of modern HVAC it will be designed with passive cooling and heating for a moderate climate. It will be  a natural  luxury home that will remind people more of a tent/ covering  from the  elements rather than a spray foam airtight enclosure. The walls will be of natural materials that will " breathe" so to speak. Zero artificial synthetic materials. No sheetrock. Plastered lime walls. Or rammed earthen walls. It will probably start as a cedar shake roof until I can get clay tiles for roofing. 

 It will have a central courtyard that leads into the main house. An indoor heated  pool will also lead to an outdoor unheated  pool from the middle of the home. Inside, where the  humidity is a bit higher, I will have real  plants and orchids growing on the stone walls , thriving from the indirect  sunroof light bays and indoor  higher humidity.( I clean pools for a living now ,  so I know what all is involved) A multicolor parrot , colorful lizards, and various  small creatures will come and go as they please from the coutyard areas . They will poop outside, I don't know how yet . But they will. Lol! 

 The center pool will lead outside to a ravine, with a waterfall I will make. This, will feed into a gentle flowing crystal clear creek with a canopy of trees and walkways and boulder retaining walls. 

 In the home, it will be large open spaces with many " catwalks " and upper balconies leading into various bedrooms. Vines will hang from the balconies. Sunken dens and living rooms to conversate and teach. Large wood  fireplaces everywhere. No classrooms. Teach and learn  as we work together. A ressurected  one I will teach about Christ, perhaps he will teach me how to build a roman stone bridge. We will work together. No maids. Each guest will be responsible for cleanliness of their own room. I will have outdoor sleeping areas in garden  locations because Im in Texas and Im sure ressurected Native American Indians would prefer outside under stars  instead of inside rooms. 

 I would  like many resurrection gatherings and weddings or remarriage to occur.  Many kids running all over the place. I want a large dining room we will gather in for morning breakfasts and evening dinner. However various rooms will have their own kitchenette suite if not wanting to be with a crowd at times. 

 There will be many suites and off site guest residences for privacy. It will be a garden of sights and smells and happiness. A place memories made. Everyone will have a duty that  fits their personality to contribute to such a large place. I hope to be a place people can stop in , learn some things , and move on  to their own land allotment. A hotel of sorts. I need a rope bridge too. 

 

Okay, thats a starting point. The GB said be specific. So ummm, I did. 😂

I have often thought of this.  If my boys don't make it, I am going to be so very upset/distraught.  I think for me to become a productive member of society it would be best if I had a very small place, such as a hotel room, or hotel suite.  I could keep that clean and go out and help others until a time came that I would feel like I was in a better place mentally to build my home.  I'm not sure though.  I would definitely want to find myself a mate before I built a house though.  So, I guess I better put forth more effort doing that before I get to involved in drawing up house plans LOL.

Dear Brother Tom @Tsheppar

 

I already knew your humor which I adhere to, I always have in front of my eyes your flip flops and your Hawaiian shirts, but I knew nothing of your talents as an architect and storyteller.

 

What a wonderful palace you describe there, my friend!🤩

 

From year 0 + 2 in the New World, when can I come see you and your family?

I too hope that in the space of two years you will have taught the lizard and the warthog to do their business somewhere other than in swimming pools, and also that there will be no snakes, two years will not be enough to cure my phobia. Can I push my audacity further, since I invite myself to your home? Will it be possible to welcome me when the Native Americans are there, please? And also regarding my own house: could I send you the project by email? 

 

Thank you for this personal window giving access to the New World now so close. It's really very beautiful, it makes you dream.

Now, the hardest part remains: to last, to endure, to be patient. Let's all endure till the end!🤍

Take a little break and enjoy this incredibly beautiful property. I would love to live here... tons of space for people to visit. I'd be a happy inn-keeper on this spot. ❤️ 

 

 

That's beautiful.

Dance. Even if there's no music.

This is what AI created for me when I gave it my details.  I would like a round home with a center courtyard.  With a Koi Pond and outdoor kitchen where everyone would wake up in the morning and we would sit around eating pancakes and fresh squeezed orange juice from my orange tree. 

Dance. Even if there's no music.

A music room of some sort with a lot of different musical instruments.

Excellent idea! I need to add such a room to my giant Paradise home.  In today's world we use speakers to replicate our music. 

   Perhaps with all the musicians resurrected, there will be no shortage of " live" music. 

 Live music accommodations may be needed. 

 

And isn't there something different when music is played live?  I don't know what it is. Maybe its my imagination. But live music touches on a deeper level. At least to me is does. I have no proof.

 

When I was a small boy , an anointed brother was a piano player in my congregation . All our meeting songs were played live by him with a piano that sat in the corner of the Kingdom Hall. 

 Those days are long gone. But I remember ....it added an " element"  that has since been lost. 

 

Excellent ideas . Music Rooms in Paradise homes. Resounding Yes in my opinion  ! Lol

.

 

Side note. Many older homes also had sewing rooms. 

 Unless our clothes are mass produced. That may be  a neat option to add. Beautiful sewing rooms. 😁

I love your Paradise home ideas. The Ai picture was very cool!  It reminded me of how some high end  homes in the middle east are designed. With rooms facing a central area where people congregate, but can retreat to their own room. A central area of beauty. Here is one real life example 😉

I didn't think that we might also want a nice large kitchen so when we have company and everyone is listening to the music being played live there's a bunch of friends cooking a nice meal for us and enjoying every minute preparing it and visiting with each other while doing so and requesting songs at the same time.

And also that's true as you say that we would have the resurrected friends. Maybe some from Bible time will join us and we will learn their songs and play along. Harps and tambourines and stuff like that. It would be very pretty music.
