Just thinking about animals and heaven again...And more

Can't stop thinking about the intriguing wonders of heaven, all the possibilities. 

Everytime I see a poor animal killed on the road I say a prayer that God takes them to heaven to have what they missed here. I do believe He hears that prayer. Also believe its an unnecessary prayer as think He has already taken care of it. 

Been thinking about the garden before the fall. Don't know a whole lot about it but you can rather piece things together a bit if you try...All the animals got along there, not fighting amoungst themselves, no natural enemies as here now. How peaceful it must have been. Imagine there were no 100 degree with humidity days nor days so cold your teeth couldn't stop rattling either...There was no illness, no pain, no injury. It was a wonderful place to be, and yet somehow Adam and Eve were disatisfied. Why? Not sure. They wanted more, why? Did they need to pass a test before things "calmed down" and they were content? The original angels did.  Hmmm. Interesting thoughts. If they had passed the test things would be soooooo different now. Always wondered if they had passed would people just float off to heaven when it was time or would they just stay on earth. Wouldn't it have gotten crowded? God did walk in the garden with them but wonder if it was in His true form (remember He hadn't become Man yet) or was it under under human form so as to not alarm them? Not sure. Still wonder what would have happened with humans and heaven, how that would have worked out. We too now must also pass our test, not to remain in the garden but to get to the "garden" which is now Heaven.  Wonder too if when the new earth is created at the end of the world if it will be a giant "new Eden"....Guess we'll have to wait and see.  Hope to see ya there!
