I don't wonder anymore what I'll tell God when I go to…

“I don't wonder anymore what I'll tell God when I go to heaven when we sit in the chairs under the tree, outside the city…I'll tell these things to God, and he'll laugh, I think and he'll remind me of the parts I forgot, the parts that were his favorite. We'll sit and remember my story together…” quote by Donald Miller

“I don't wonder anymore what I'll tell God when I go to heaven when we sit in the chairs under the tree, outside the city…I'll tell these things to God, and he'll laugh, I think and he'll remind me of the parts I forgot, the parts that were his favorite. We'll sit and remember my story together, and then he'll stand and put his arms around me and say, "well done," and that he liked my story. And my soul won't be thirsty anymore. Finally he'll turn and we'll walk toward the city, a city he will have spoken into existence a city built in a place where once there'd been nothing.”
