Something to live by...

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
