One of my favorite quotes!

So if you are really good friends with me you know that I ABSOLUTELY love quotes!  To me they have so much meaning in my life.  This is one my friend Kaylee showed me and now it is my favorite.  It was said by one of my heros Sister Marjorie Pay Hinckley.  
Here it is I hope you enjoy it:
"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 I was really here and that I really lived."
