"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."

Uplifting

I was studying for Young Womens and came across this scripture.  How I have never read it before I do not know, I love it!  Isaiah 41: 13 "For I the Lord God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee."  It conjours up an image in my mind of a strong big brother holding the hand of a little sister/brother in the dark or in a scary place.
