Great quote
"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." — Marjorie Pay Hinckley

This has always been one of my favorite quotes from Sister Hinckley. I still need to get type it up and get it framed or something so I can hang it in my house somewhere and remind myself of it often.
I have always LOVED this quote. She was such an amazing lady!! If I could only be a small percent of what she was, I'd be happy. Let's see, peanut butter...check, dirty nails...check, tears....check. :)
