A quote from Sister Hinckley that I really love...
“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 Schenk's 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 the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.”

Wasnt she the most adorable little old lady? I want to be as beautiful as her when I "grow up." :)
ReplyDeleteNow that really is something to aspire too. I've never read that qoute, thanks for sharing. So glad you all blog. Thanks again for help Naomi with the kids the other night. They love her.
