The Scriptural expression "heaven and earth" means all that exists, creation in its entirety. It also indicates the bond, deep within creation, that both unites heaven and earth and distinguishes the one from the other: "the earth" is the world of men, while "heaven" or "the heavens" can designate both the firmament and God's own "place"—"our Father in heaven" and consequently the "heaven" too which is eschatological glory. Finally, "heaven" refers to the saints and the "place" of the spiritual creatures, the angels, who surround God.

Heaven is always available but only in the eternal now. What is your idea of the divine experience in this lifetime? Why did you come here? Most people don't know because they've never contemplated it. Surely you want more than to peacefully hang out with family and friends? Even if heaven WERE only after death I can't imagine ANYTHING more boring. What is your purpose? What is your passion? Fulfilling it - THAT's heaven!

I don't really have many friends and family waiting for me in heaven because no one close to me has died yet, but eventually they will.
I know in the Bible it said that the streets of heaven will be paved with gold, there will be no pain or suffering, and everyday will be like Sunday. I think that heaven will have a huge, tall building where God lives, and everything around us will be white. Other than that I can't even begin to imagine what heaven will be like.

You are correct, that's your heaven.
For me it will be a life review, a long nap & then planning for the next adventure. And of course saying hi to all those that went before, in spirit of course b/c a lot of them will have already been reborn & possibly be unavailable.
But then that really won't matter b/c It's all part of a divine plan.

heaven is beyond our best wishes and thoughts. In Heaven there is perfect love and happiness, because the Holy Trinity will be in heaven in all their glory and splendor for eternity.

Jesus Christ will be the center of attention. And the only ones there will be those who have made Jesus Christ the center of their attention.
