My brother posted this on my Smith family blog. I loved it and had to share it too. It is one of those quotes that shines light on what life is all about. enjoy.
From Marjorie 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 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."

Oh, I love Sister Hinckley. Thanks Emily for this great reminder of what's really important.
This is beautiful! I heard it somewhere a couple of years ago, and I was always impressed with it. Thanks for finding it so I could read it again. Do you mind, if in a couple of days, I use this on our blog? I don't want to "lose" it again! Thanks for posting it!!
