Ummm...It doesn't sound so great to me...
Let's say you like cars. Now think of that ultra-fast, ultra-expensive, exotic luxury car (take your pick...) and think how cool it would be if you owned it. Let's say you like houses. Think of that perfect ultra-modern, posh, 10 bazzillion dollar mansion in the location of your choice. How nice would that be?
Now pretend you are Bill Gates (or Oprah...or anyone with money). You can now buy that house or that car whenever you want. Now it's not as exciting, is it?
Isn't heaven like that? If you get anything you want (I only used material things as an example), doesn't everything get devalued. Isn't the challenge of working for something make it more valuable in the long run? I'm having a hard time with understanding what's so great about a perfect heaven. It just sounds boring and dull. That's all. I keep getting told how nice it is, but I keep thinking, "BORING!!" Nice is "nice" sometimes, but boring all of the time.

Material things are not the answer to happiness.In heaven there will be no sorrow, no pain.you have not yet experience pain. And maybe not sorrow,but you will because its a part of life,then you will not see heaven as boring.GOD is not boring ,that would be the same as saying love is boring.Peace is boring.Imagine yourselve lying down with a lion or tigger and no harm would come to you,and all will love one another, in GOD..

In a surprize announcement, the Bible has indicated "heaven" is not about us. "Heaven" is about our glorifying, praising, and worshipping God. Such being the case, BMWs, 2442 feet televisions, XXXXXXXXXXXXxxxxBox, Jack Daniels, etc will probably not be on the import list.

It is more about limitless love than any material possessions.
Evolved persons dont pander after possessions

Heaven will be what brings you joy. If working for things gives you joy, you will experience that in heaven. If not working gives you joy - you will have that.

Not hardly, if you were in heaven, you would not WANT anything, you would be completely satisfied and at peace

"The people who are regarded as moral luminaries are those who forego ordinary pleasures themselves and find compensation in interfering with the pleasures of others."

I don't know but we are promised riches and to not want for anything when (and if !) we get there...a nice thought though...

Since it doesn't exist, you don't get anything.
