"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."

Leftovers!

Today I'm thankful for:

1. My awesome family. I love spending time with them, playing games with them, talking to them, etc.
2. Thanksgiving dinner leftovers. There's nothing quite like a turkey sandwich on a roll with stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, and fruit salad on the side. And to top it all off, left-over pie!
3. Lazy afternoons where absolutely nothing that has to be done.
4. Warm slippers.
5. Sunshine!
