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 some one'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"

I borrowed this quote by Marjorie Pay Hinckley from my friend Kerin's blog (and Marjorie Pay Hinckley, of course). I have never heard this one before. Don't you just love this? Those are words to live by.
And

Thank you Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a kind soul.
I consider myself lucky to have a friend, such as you :)
(Marjorie was a relative to me.. my grandpa's cousin; my maiden name was Pay.
She and her sweet husband have always had a special place in my heart.
And, we kinda have the same fluffy cheeks~~LOL!..a Pay trait, through and through).
Loved this. It's absolutely refreshing-and also a good reminder.
ReplyDeleteI DO love it! So TRUE!
