“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
Sister Hinckley is probably the most sweetest ladies I've never met. By her words, examples, and how she always stood by her sweet husbands side was I needed to see to know that I wanted to become just like her.
With this quote it inspires me to be the best mother and wife I can be one day. It's not all about wearing the nicest clothes and having the nicest car, but about the family you have is all that counts. Well that's about it for today. Hope y'all had a great weekend!
xoxo,
Meg
