have i done any good?

"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 from my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and with tears of a friend on my shoulder.
I want the Lord to know that I was really here, and that I really lived."
Marjorie Pay Hinckley

She has such a beautiful understanding of our mission here on earth. Today, I'm going to make sure the Lord knows I am here, really living.
