A Chocolate Party at Work

I'm grateful for the chocolate party we had at work today! I may or may not have eaten cinnamon bears, graham crackers, pepperidge farm cookies, marshmallows, bananas, and pretzles with chocolate. Oh my word it was heaven. And I got paid to do it.

"Mercies and blessings come in different forms--sometimes as hard things. Yet the Lord said, 'Thou shalt thank the Lord thy God in all things' (D&C 59:7). All things means just that: good things, difficult things--not just some things. He has commanded us to be grateful because He knows being grateful will make us happy. This is another evidence of His love."
-Bonnie D. Parkin

"We can lift ourselves and others as well when we refuse to remain in the realm of negative thought and cultivate within our hearts an attitude of gratitude. If ingratitude be numbered among the serious sins, then gratitude takes its place among the noblest of virtues. Someone has said that “gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others."
-Thomas S. Monson

...live in thanksgiving daily, for the many mercies and blessings which he [God] doth bestow upon you.
Alma 34:38

Are you ever burdened with a load of care? Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear? Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly, And you will keep singing as the days go by.

"The things we gripe and complain about won't go with us to eternity, but they are what could keep us from eternity." -Dad
