Finally!!! somebody got this! I asked this three times and the response was very slow in coming from people. I was surprised that this question was avoided since many questions on R&S evolves around this simple statement.

This is truly a great question, and I have often thought about it, myself.
In a paradise, where we are given everything we could possibly want, what would we strive for? What would encourage us to grow? Would we get bored?
There has been much literature that deals with the concept that mankind must have obstacles to overcome in order to be happy.
I regret, that the only definitive answer I can give is that our understanding of what lies beyond is insufficient to grasp the true nature of our spiritually evolved forms.
It may well be that we all become "sub-gods" and will create worlds of our own to nurture and grow. I think one of the Christian sub classes believes this.
My faith teaches that we will be as little children eternally at play without worry or care. If you watch kids play, they only become bored when we place restrictions on them, which we do to protect them (or when we want a little peace and quiet). I suspect that we will be turned loose into the universe (or a remade universe) and God will sit back and watch as we struggle to explore it and its secrets, without fear of death or destruction. As He will have removed all temptations to sin from us, there will be little need for restrictions.
Think of it as turning a pack of teenage girls loose in a shopping mall with an unlimited credit card, or a heard of grade schoolers loose in Disney World.
There will be an endless supply of new things to experience and challenges, all the while, we will have the loving care of God watching over us and we, in turn, will love and praise Him. Just as a child makes some gift out of paper and crayon and give it to her parents, we will also do and create things in offering to Him.
In the end, no one can really say because the mind and power of God knows and comprehends things so much more that we do just as we know and comprehend things so much more than an amoeba. But I am looking forward to finding out.
