Richly Blessed!

I read this somewhere and found it worth remembering and sharing. Here it is!

• I asked God for strength that I might achieve, I was made weak that I might learn to obey.
• I asked for health that I might do great things; I was given infirmity that I might do better things.
• I asked for riches that I might be happy; I was given poverty that I might be wise.
• I asked for power when I was young that I might have the praise of men; I was given weakness that I might feel the need for God.
• I asked for all things that I might enjoy life; I was given life that I might enjoy all things.
• Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am, among all people, most richly blessed.
