"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."

Tea Party

Maddie was having a tea party the other day and invited me and some imaginary people to join her and her toys. Earlier in the day she had spotted a candy bar in my purse from her birthday when we went to the movie. As we were having a tea party I asked who was there and she replied "Guy is at our party (her favorite imaginary friend), but he can't talk because a shark bit his skin." Me, "oh thats so sad, where did the shark bit his skin?" Maddie, "on his leg, but if you gived me a candy bar and I shared it with him, he would probably be able to talk again!"

How could I resist? Happy ending because she shared with "Guy" and he talked! We all know that a shark bite on the leg would make any of us not be able to speak. ha ha.
