Although I have no way of knowing off the top of my head, one of my biggest desires would be non-existence. The concept of living forever terrifies me.

Who says that you couldn't continue to help people? In Catholic belief, the Saints in Heaven pray for those on Earth and continue to help people. Being in Heaven doesn't mean that you no longer care about the sufferings of those still here.

One of the explanations I've heard of at my church is that God simply removes a person's ability to feel any kind of negative emotions once they enter Heaven. So even if you knew about the problems on Earth, it wouldn't bother you. There is also the possibility that the people in Heaven don't even remember that there is an Earth in the first place. I'm merely speculating on both of these points, however.

If I'm honest, I'm sure I'd wish I had made better use of my time here i.e. rendered more Service, been more patient, more giving, more forgiving, more loving etc. (Easier said than done sometimes. 'Humanness' gets in the way.)
But by then it would be too late...

Make the most of now - a lesson for us all.

I would immediately demand a genetic copy of Burt Reynolds be given to me so he could function as my servant and I will name him..... Melgore.

Maybe you won't actually be in Heaven, though. Maybe you'll just be a spirit awaiting your resurrection and judgment. Maybe you'll still be learning and growing and thinking and making choices that will impact your future. :)

Absolutely. But dogs too, and all kinds of other animals -- none of them fighting or being afraid of the others. And me getting to spend 24/7 with them all!

Great minds! However cats are my favourite animals, big or small... I'd love to see a tiger up close and pet it. So yeah my wish would include all kinds of cats.

Of course all that would be with my past cats and my husband too. He too is quite entertained by this idea. :D

perhaps sadly and inappropriately i confess I'd like a huge line of cocaine that never wears off, a delicious dinner of frois gras, shake shack burgers and scallops in the company of Jonathan Rhys Meyers, serenaded by a back to back show of Take That, Metallica and the StoneTemplePilots.

I don't St Peter would let me in!
