I found this quote on a friends blog-Thanks Jodi!- and I love it. I have read it before, but it's always nice to be reminded of great thoughts from great people.
"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes,my hair expertly coiffed,and with long,perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Shenks lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."-Marjorie Hinckley
