Day 4


Day 4, Saturday: Favorite quote (from a person, from a book, etc) and why you love it


I have so many of these!! Just looking through my PINTEREST board trying to decide has left me motivated with all the great words I have come across in my lifetime. 


“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 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 I was really here and that I really lived.” -Marjorie Pay Hinckley


This has to be one of my absolute favorites. I want to be the kind of person that helps everyone she meets, who gives selfless service with a cheerful smile. I want to be a mother and a wife who supports and loves. I want to be a friend and a servant to the Lord. I want the Lord to know that I did my best to be the kind of person He was while He was on the Earth.
