Service

I'm so tired, but I remembered that I hadn't posted yet today. Day 4 and still going strong. Aren't you guys proud of me?

Jas and I had to speak on Sunday in his parents ward on Good Works. I spoke on Service specifically and ended my talk with this quote from Sis Marjorie Hinckley that I absolutely LOVE!

“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 grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk’s lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s 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 tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.”
