One of the last things that Jesus said was that he was going to prepare a place for us, a place of many mansions, crystal sea, streets of gold.  The Bible also states that there will be work in heaven.  So here is my thought.
 Do you think the things we do here on Earth is just building up a stack of lumber and the work that we will do in heaven is building our own mansion?  God will make us build our own dwelling.  I mean, we are not going to complain about it if that is the case, we will be in the presence of God.  But wonder if when we enter through the gates of heaven, St. Peter says, "Shelby, your lumber pile is the 8th one on the left and the supply house for the hammer and nails is down at the Mansion Depot and if you want a gold sidewalk go see Matthew and Mark, tell them I sent you."
Would that not just flip your lid?
