Person you Love: My husband! A great husband, father, and friend.
Thing you Love: Cheese.
Quote you 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 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."
— Marjorie Pay Hinckley
Poem you Love:
William Wordsworth, "Ode: Intimations of Immortality"
Excerpt:
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting: | |
The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star, | 60 |
Hath had elsewhere its setting, | |
And cometh from afar: | |
Not in entire forgetfulness, | |
And not in utter nakedness, | |
But trailing clouds of glory do we come | 65 |
From God, who is our home: |
I love babies! I love this photo of me and my first baby. Now that I am done having babies, I look back on those years of nurturing the very little ones with fondness and a little nostalgia. This photo represents for me all the pictures of me with my babies, whom I love.
I love this post Sarah! I can relate to loving cheese and babies too! The Marjorie Hinckley quote is awesome! I've never read that.
