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."

A Wonderful Day

Yesterday Anthony and the girls took me out to dinner to Chilli's for Mothers Day! After we went to Walmart and while I was in the check out line Anth wondered off with the girls. All of a sudden I hear 'Surprise! Happy Mothers Day!' They had went and bought me the most beautiful red roses!
