I'm giving it all I got

I got this from my Grandma and just wanted to share it. I really love it! What an amazing woman...

I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, 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 the > tears of a friend on my shoulder.> I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.>
