the people in the New Jerusalem have their robes washed in the blood of the lamb, which is essentially what you are asking
there will be streets of gold and gate of pearls and tree of life for the healing of the nations, and God will wipe away the pain and bitterness and tears
it will be awesome beyond words... but this is the icing on the cake.. God will be the centerpiece of heaven and getting to know Him will the be adventuate of the ages and he is praised to endless agess .. it will be inexahstibly great
anything else would get boring
hell would be really boring... why go there

The first thing that someone should be considering is whether the idea of sin is actually real.
If God is supposed to be perfect how could She have made anything or anyone that wasn't.
Think about it. The idea of sin assumes certain things about God that seem highly unlikely.
First it assumes a God who is too incompetent to organize a simple educational field excursion and figure out a way to get all of the students home safely.
How likely is this that God would not be smart enough to come up with a plan for our salvation that is going to work?
It also assumes that God must have created us imperfect if we are sinners.
One might assume that God would be able to create someone perfect each and every time if he chose to. Assuming God is capable of this, then it follows logically that we must be perfect creations if we are actually creations of this perfect God.
Unless of course you are saying that God chose to create us imperfect.
If God created us imperfect then anything that may go wrong is Gods fault, not ours. This seems a bit illogical at best so I think that we need to assume that What God creates would have to be perfect.
If this is the case and Gods creations are perfect, then nothing that we can do could change what God created perfect and make it imperfect unless we think that we are more powerful than God is.
How likely is it that we the creation could be more powerful than the creator. I personally find this idea somewhat amusing, and a bit absurd.
Religion tells us that God is perfect. If this is true then it could hardly be logically for Gods creations to be considered to be anything less than perfect.
If this is the case then Nothing that we can ever do could possibly change this perfection that God willed, unless we were so powerful that our choices could override and change the will of God.
How likely is that????
Think about it.
The idea of sin is simple nonsense; a lie made up about God by religion.

Jesus mostly says that our reward will be great in heaven, but no specifics are supplied. St. Paul wrote:
[1 Cor 2:9] But as it is written: "What eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and what has not entered the human heart, what God has prepared for those who love him,"
Our finite minds have no way of comprehending the reward God has in store for us, nor do we have the superlatives to describe it.

Read the beginning of John 14, He is preparing mansions for us.
John 3:16, we get eternal life instead of the punishment we deserve.
And best of all, we get to spend eternity with Him, also in John 14

Jesus promised Heaven. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16).
We can never be saved because of what we do; we can only be saved because of what Jesus Christ has already done for us. Let me explain.
Our greatest problem can be put in one word: sin. Sin cuts us off from God, and sin also keeps us out of heaven. But how can we get rid of our sins? We can't erase them or cause them to disappear by ourselves; we don't have the power. The only way we can get rid of our sins is for someone to come along and take them away for us.
And that is exactly what Jesus Christ did for us. We are weighed down by the burden of our sins—but Jesus took that burden upon Himself when He died on the cross for us. To put it another way, He took the punishment we deserve when He went to the cross in our place. The Bible says, "For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God" (1 Peter 3:18).
What must you do? Simply believe that Christ has taken away your sins, and then receive Him into your heart and life. The Bible's promise is for you: "To all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God" (John 1:12). Become God's child today by asking Christ to come into your life.

My grandfather is the fire. My grandmother is the wind. the Earth is my mother. The Great Spirit is my father.
The World stopped at my birth and laid itself at my feet. And I shall swallow the Earth whole when I die
and the Earth and I will be one.
Hail The Great Spirit, my father without him no one could exist because there would be no will to live
Hail The Earth, my mother without which no food would be grown and so cause the will to live to starve.
Hail the wind, my grandmother for she brings loving, life giving rain nourishing us as she nourishes our crops.
Hail the fire, my grandfather for the light, the warmth, the comfort he brings without which we be animals, not men.
Hail my parent and grandparents without which not I
nor you nor anyone else could have existed. Life gives life which gives unto itself a promise of new life.
Hail the Great Spirit, The Earth, the wind, the fire
praise my parents loudly for they are your parents, too.
Oh, Great Spirit, giver of my life please accept this humble offering of prayer this offering of praise this honest reverence of my love for you.
