This (and your note) made me think of this: Author Unknown, (Attributed to a battle weary C.S.A soldier near the end of the war) I asked God for strength, that I might achieve; I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked for health, that I might do greater things; I was given infirmity, that I might do better things. I asked for riches, that Imight 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 hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am among all men most richly blessed. May we all receive the blessings of getting just what we need, even if it isn’t exactly what we want. Take care, my friend.
