"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."

I agree with Sister Hinckley,that's what life is all about.I have a little saying that I love,I don't know who wrote it but someone gave it to me years ago and I've enjoyed it ever since. It goes like this My House is Rich,,,My Children are my Treasure! Have a Happy Mother's Day Rachael.
That quote is awesome!
