Perfect Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

I love these muffins, I came across this recipe while blog hopping but cant remember which blog I found it on, and I have to say it is a wonderful recipe, probably because it has lots of butter in it, but I make these year around, they are moist and wonderful and delicious, this recipe makes a lot, you can always half it if you'd like!

2 cups butter                                     3 cups sugar

6 eggs                                                   1 TBLSP vanilla

Mix the above together

Add:

 1 large can pumpkin

1 tsp allspice                                       1 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp cloves                                         ¼ tsp ginger

1 TB cinnamon                                   1 tsp salt

4 1/2 cups flour                                 1 TBLSP baking powder

1 TBLSP baking soda

3 cups chocolate chips

Mix all together and Bake 15-20 min at 350 degrees

I use cupcake pan and cupcake liners, and I like to use mini chocolate chips.  These are DIVINE! Your house smells so good when cooking these as well!

Nourishment of the Soul:

1 Thessalonians 5:18
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you

Yes, giving thanks brings so much joy.  There are many times I want to feel sorry for myself, I look around at others and see what they have and I what I dont have, immediately I feel drained of energy and sad and depressed.  But when I take out a paper and pen and write down those things I have been blessed with, I immediately feel happy inside, and those things I do have always outweigh those things I do not have.  I find myself actually thanking Heavenly Father for my Trials, and for helping me to grow.
The other nigh when I was saying my prayers, I was trying to ask Heavenly Father to hurry along my trials when I felt impressed to know that I am in the middle of great learning and gaining knowledge power and strength while being held 'in the palm of His hand' and why would I want to hurry that????? 
LIfe is always full of learning!
