True Gratitude

I usually keep my religious feels to myself when it comes to anything "internet" related...I don't know why, but that's just how I am, but today when I read this, I know that I really needed to hear it. So I wanted to share it.

I know that I constantly need to work on the gratitude that I receive daily that I should be giving back. I don't always accept it or realize it as often as I should. Especially lately.

"True gratitude is the ability to humbly see, feel, and even receive love. Gratitude is a form of returning love to God. Recognize His hand, tell Him so, express your love to Him. As you come to truly know the Lord, you will find an intimate, sacred relationship built on trust. You will come to know He understands your anguish and will, in compassion, always respond to you in love."

Gene R. Cook, "Charity: Perfect and Everlasting Love," Ensign, May 2002, 83

Carmel Corn Quakes

I am officially addicted to these things! They taste SO good. 7 of them are only 60 calories! So they totally fight the hunger pains or the need for something to munch on and you don't feel guilty about it either!

C'mon, they are rice cakes, they can't be THAT good right? FALSE! They are SO good. They have different flavors, I know that the ranch is gross. Didn't like it at all. I haven't tried anything else, but I DO know that the carmel corn is AMAZING!

So, trust me. Get them. Try them. Enjoy them. Love them.
