Thankful

Thing's I'm Thankful for:
-I'm thankful for the opportunity that I was able to listen to conference.
-I'm Thankful for Jesus Christ and for the Atonement.
-My husband James who always puts the needs of our family first.
-My son Jakob who calls the prophet Incredible Gordon B. Hinckley.
-My son Kaeden who's smile makes my day.
-Our families who love and support us in everything we do.
-The beautiful spring days.

“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 the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.” Marjorie Pay Hinckley
