Lately when i think about what i means to LIVE i have a very different view than what i used to have. I found this quote and it describes my feelings perfectly!
"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 someones garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."-Marjorie Hinckley
Sometimes you don't expect things to happen the way they do! But somebody far more powerful and far more knowing has a different plan for you! That is how my life has been and I am SOO grateful to my Father in Heaven for his unexpected blessing! :)
