I am loving this quote from Marjorie Pay Hinckley:
"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 a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors 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 that I was really here and that I really lived."
Reading that this morning just changed my whole outlook on my day.
Happy Wednesday!

Good thought. I love how genuine she really was.
Thanks Sarah! I love this! Have a good, busy day!
It's easy to see why she was (and still is) so adored. What an example!
Thanks Sarah!
I needed this today Sarah. I appreciate you sharing it! Love that lady so much.
Sarah,
I have been having a really hard time lately with some personal issues. Issues that won't let my mind rest, and that cause me heartache. I have been in tears and prayer this morning and then I read this quote.
It is exactly what I needed to read. You are an instrument in the Lord's hands on my behalf and I thank you. Sincerely.
i have always loved that quote...thanks for sharing it again
