My reflection:
“I asked God for strength, that I might achieve-
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.
I asked for house, that I might do greater 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, that I might have the praise of men-
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God.
I asked for all things that I might enjoy life –
I was given life, that I might enjoy all things.
I got nothing that I asked for –
But everything I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.
I am, among all people, most richly blessed ” Author Unknown
