Because I Have Been Given Much I Too Must Give
Wanting to serve others seems to be a natural extension when we become grateful. We realize how blessed we truly are and desire to share those blessings with others. One of my favorite church hymns is Because I Have Been Given Much. Because I have been given much, I too must give;Because of thy great […]
Finding True and Enduring Gratitude
Hello! My name is Bethany and I blog over at Whistle & Ivy, where I post crafts, recipes and free crochet patterns. I am very excited to be guest posting at Chocolate on my Cranium, and sharing my thoughts on gratitude. One of the things that I love best about the holiday season is the […]
This is the Day Which the Lord Has Made
Let Us Rejoice and Be Glad In It! My random day to document things I am grateful for was Saturday. It started just like every other day, after my morning prayers I take my medication for hypothyroidism. I was diagnosed back in September. I am so thankful that the exhaustion has decreased dramatically! Lazy Saturday […]
Helping Children Express Gratitude Through Good Manners
Don’t forget about the Gratitude Challenge! The linky will go up tomorrow but it will stay open until Thanksgiving. Choose a random day to document either through photos or words all you are thankful for that day. Enjoy this guest post by Nancy on teaching children. One of my favorite scripture stories is the story […]
Mini Prayers of Gratitude – The Antidote to Envy
This could also have been titled “How NOT to Have Pity Party.” There is some great advice in today’s guest post! We’ve all heard the old Roosevelt “Comparison is the thief of joy” quote. Well . . . maybe we haven’t all heard it (though it makes us sound like a fancy bunch – perfectly […]
I Don’t Know What to Say
Today’s guest post comes from Dana who originally wrote this post earlier this year. It is a touching read about the service rendered to her family at the sudden death of her son-in-law. My response to death has been forever changed. It isn’t that I haven’t done appropriate things in the past, but now I […]

To Infinity and Beyond! by Jane Payne
I think we learned about infinity in the third grade. It felt so Newton- or Einstein-like to use the word that could not be counted. Infinity held such power and from then on many childhood conversations were trumped with it; “I hate spinach infinity,” “I love arithmetic infinity.” However, when “powers” were introduced in seventh grade, infinity nearly […]
A Special Gift is Kindness
As you may have noticed I have been absent for the past few days from the blog. My brother got married in the Orlando LDS Temple on Friday! And since it was Orlando I just had to use the opportunity to take a few of my kids to experience the Magic Kingdom and Universal Studios […]
Grateful Hearts, Giving Hands take two
As you know Autumn (don’t call it fall!) is my favorite season of the year. I love the bountiful harvest, the colors changing, the gathering of family together, the spicy smells, etc. But this quote got me thinking. What if we, like nature, also made this time of year a time of sowing, of scattering […]
How Can I Keep From Singing?
At church today we sang one of my favorite hymns, How Great Thou Art. What a glorious list of blessings from the Lord is contained in that hymn! Music is so intertwined in our lives. I am certain one reason is because when we are filled with gratitude to God we cannot be kept from […]
The Kindling & Penumbras – books by Braden Bell (review)
Connor Dell didn’t mean to set anyone’s gym shorts on fire. He didn’t know it would happen – he didn’t know it could happen. And if he had known, he never would have – well, that might be going too far. It started in seventh period science. The Kindling by Braden Bell is exciting and […]
Living Eucharisteo
For a little over a year I have been on a personal journey. I’ve realized this is the only real goal I want to carry forward in my life. Not because I don’t want to accomplish other things or better myself but because this one thing has the power and capacity to be the catalyst […]
The Candy Bomber – a mini unti stdy
This time of year is so full of fun . . . and candy. Candy abounds! The shelves at the store are lined with brightly colored packages. Children are dreaming of how much they will get after they go trick-or-treating. In our neck of the woods everyone from doctor’s offices to banks are passing candy […]
