Sunday Reflection

I absolutely love this:

"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 butt
er on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.
I want to be there wit
h 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 o
f a friend on my shoulder.
I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."
