It's a great life is you don't weaken.

Loved this quote!

I've heard this before and it's been a while but I would have to say that I couldn't agree more with Sister Hinckley! 


It was a good reminder to read it today, a good reminder to love the moments that sometimes drive me absolutely insane! I do have to say I love kisses from my boys they give the best kisses especially the sticky ones! 





"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 neighbor's 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 that I was really here and that I really lived".

I've had that quote on my fridge because it's such a beautiful reminder as to what's really important. And I just adored her--she was so wise and humble!
