I do too. I hope to be reunited with loved ones and praise God. I hope to get a new body free of illness.
I hope we all find out what heaven is like.

I believe from asking many priests and spiritual people. I come to believe that it will be a lot like life on earth animals plants but in perfection before the fall of Adam and Eve. yes you will see your loved ones. We know that we will be physical when Jesus entered the locked room where the disciples were hiding, they recognized him, but he was able to defy physical laws just like we will. I think it will be perfection and total bliss and we will be busy doing the work of God’s will. We all will be totally fulfilled in what God’s intention of our nature is. That is my opinion.

The Book of revelation gives us a glimpse as to what it is like. Depending on how one sees it, it can be boring or deeply satisfying but the vision of the Revelation tells us there are lots of worshipping, perhaps unceasingly, of the one true God. It also enacts the victory of the Lamb.

‘Earth hath no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.’
St. Thomas More
‘There is a higher prayer – that of the perfect – which is a certain ravishing of the mind, its complete separation from all sensory things, when with unutterable sighings of the spirit it approaches God, Who sees the heart open like a written book, wherein its will is expressed in wordless images. Thus Paul was ravished to the third heaven, not knowing “whether in the body” or “whether out of the body” [II Corinthians 12:2].’
St. Nilus of Sinai
‘When you behold a beautiful landscape, say: Heaven is more beautiful than that! Above there are true delights and holy pleasures! Let us live, then, absorbed in the thought and the desire of that immense ocean of felicity which we are to enjoy in heaven.’
St. Paul of the Cross
‘According to St. Bonaventure, all the angels in heaven unceasingly call out to her: “Holy, holy, holy Mary, Virgin Mother of God.” They greet her countless times each day with the angelic greeting, “Hail, Mary”, while prostrating themselves before her, begging her as a favour to honour them with one of her requests. According to St. Augustine, even St. Michael, though prince of all the heavenly court, is the most eager of all the angels to honour her and lead others to honour her. At all times he awaits the privilege of going at her word to the aid of one of her servants.’
St. Louis Marie de Montfort
‘Beside all this, a more wonderful grace is bestowed upon the Saints in heaven: for they know not only them with whom they were acquainted in this world, but also those whom before they never saw, and converse with them in such familiar sort as though in times past they had seen and known one another: and therefore when they shall see the ancient fathers in that place of perpetual bliss, they shall then know them by sight, whom always they knew in their lives and conversation. For seeing they do in that place with unspeakable brightness, common to all, behold God, what is there that they know not, that know him who knoweth all things?’
Pope St. Gregory the Great
'Through Thee, for the fulfilling of the behests of the eternal Father, thousands of thousands glide in swift flight twixt heaven and earth, like industrious bees that flit to and fro between their hive and the flowers; a busy throng, innocent and stainless, neither laggard nor disobedient. Through Thee a hundred times ten thousand stand ministrant in the sanctuary of the temple of highest heaven, staring on the Face of Majesty with a clear unflinching gaze, and sounding forth their harmonious ceaseless hymn to the glory of the triune undivided Godhead.
Through Thee the Seraphim burn, the Cherubim shine, the Thrones give judgment.
Thou, O Lord, art a fire that burns and consumes not; and, from their immediate nearness to the fires of Thy Godhead, all the sacred choir of the Seraphim are wrapt in coruscating flame, and pour abroad the overflowing of their blissful ardours on the other armies of Thy battling hosts; and of these we in our turn have tasted of the fulness.’
St. Anselm of Canterbury
‘I would willingly endure alone all the sufferings of this world to be raised a degree higher in Heaven and to possess the smallest increase of the knowledge of God’s greatness.’
St. Teresa of Jesus
'Our mind then should be on God, on heavenly sights, on the beauties of Paradise, on the everlasting dwellings, on the regime there, where the souls of the just and of sinners are now, on how the appearing of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ will be, in which, according to the sacred saying, the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up; then how each soul is going to take again its yoke-fellow the body, what a gathering that will be of every human from Adam to the final consummation, how great and fearful and more dazzling than the rays of the sun will be the face of Christ, what his voice that we shall hear, and last, what will be the final state of the just who are admitted into the kingdom of heaven and of the sinners who are sent away to eternal punishments.
These, brethren, are the things that we should be caring about and thinking about, with which we should be occupied, since we live out of the world, and since we have our home in heaven and our lives have nothing in common with those who live according to the world; with these it is possible to be moved to compunction, to weep and to be enlightened, both to lead a life of peace here and to have hope of attaining the eternal good things to come, in Christ Jesus our Lord, to whom be glory and might, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and always and to the ages of ages. Amen.’
St. Theodore the Studite
‘The only true riches are those that make us rich in virtue. Therefore, if you want to be rich, beloved, love true riches. If you aspire to the heights of real honor, strive to reach the kingdom of Heaven. If you value rank and renown, hasten to be enrolled in the heavenly court of the Angels.’

Yes, except heaven can never be boring-that’s inconsistent with the whole concept. The reason that there’s endless worship there is simply because everyone wants to do so-can’t stop doing so-because God, the center of attention, absolutely enthralls the heart, engulfing one in immediate, sheer peace and total happiness by His presence.

I come to the conclusion that endless worship is just being there. doing what you do is worship. here on earth when you do God’s will willingly and if that is being a musician or an airline pilot safely moving people one place to another. doing it with love of Christ. you are worshipping God. In Heaven, being there and doing whatever you do in Heaven, you worship God endlessly
