In Summer

So I was just listening to the song In Summer from the newest Disney movie, Frozen.  In the song, the snowman, Olaf, expresses his desire to be in summer.  What he doesn't realize is that "what frozen things do" in summer is melt.  Olaf is wanting to be somewhere he wasn't made to be.
Aren't we as humans almost exactly like that?  We want perfection, but we we are no longer perfect because of Adam's sin in the garden.  Perfection will be given to Christians when we are in heaven with God where there is no sin, no death, and no tears.
I know that a snowman's dream of being in summer and a humans dream of perfection are two completely different things, but there are some similarities.
Like Olaf, we dream of things that are seemingly impossible.  Only God can make the impossible, become possible.  This may seem like a bad comparison, but Queen Elsa kind of represents God in the end of Frozen when she gives Olaf his "own personal flurry" so that he can enjoy summer without melting.  Just as God will eventually bring all who believe in him to heaven so that we can worship him perfectly.
Olaf got his wish of being in summer, and we will eventually get ours of being in a perfect paradise.
