What would be your heaven?

That question was asked in Bible study the other day.
"I go to prepare a mansion for you." Not sure that is the exact statement made. Maybe a place will be made for you?
I definitely would not care to be exalted nor would I want a mansion.
I would prefer a lovely, sunny day in a natural setting with my horses and animals around. Oh, and my folks.
 
I have often considered exactly what would be the point of any afterlife, and I don't believe in heaven or hell. I can't wrap my head around billions of disembodied spirits just hanging around for eternity, and I mean no disrespect to anyone who believes in it.

I suppose "heavenly" for me would mean pain free, happy, plenty of sunshine, and people I love (not necessarily in that order). Also seeing my precious little dog, Harry again.

I didn't even have to think of an answer. I actually had a dream about it many years ago & when I woke up I was really angry when I realized it was only a dream & I tried to get back into it by going back to sleep (which didn't work).
I was sitting next to a tree & hundreds of animals approached me; all types, including dangerous ones, & they sat next to me & let me pet them.

Oh, there's plenty of room for all of us - there are 200,000,000,000,000,000,0000,000 (a billion trillion) stars in the known universe, and at least that many planets. I'm hoping my family is in one of the nicer neighborhoods, with a good golf course and a pool, and a nice Italian restaurant nearby.
 
I really can’t convey the words.
Just like hearing about, reading about and seeing pictures of a complete 3 tiered rainbow, the grand canyon or Niagara Falls isn’t enough until I actually experienced them for myself and be completely beyond awed to the point that the raw emotion can’t be interpreted by mere words.

When I read the various descriptions of heaven as portrayed in the Bible, somehow I just know that they are only symbolic in nature because there is probably nothing in the human experience that is even close in comparison to the wonders I hope to see.
I hope to see Jesus and His apostles and the major figures written about in the Bible and also to know and experience all the wonders of the Universe/ God’s creation.

And….as a bonus to all of that, provided that I actually make it to whatever reward that might be, to reunite with loved ones (and even past pets) would be uh…again…beyond words!
