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 Schenck'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 dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's 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."

Volunteering!

Today Hailey and I volunteered at Ashlynn's school. We've gone numerous times before but I always forget to take my camera. To bad this time I forgot I had it until half the day was over, but here are some of the things they got to do today! Everything that they do at school causes a HUGE mess but they have so much fun playing and learning about different things. Hailey really loves going, she feels like a big girl when she gets to go with Ashlynn to school. I think Ashlynn really loves having us come to, but I'm not so sure I'm going to go much more. They wear me out! I feel like I'm getting slow. I guess that's bound to happen though. I've got just about 2 1/2 months left!!
