Today

Source: unknown Confederate Soldier

I asked God for strength that I might achieve.
I was made weak that I might humbly learn 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 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 asked for vision that I might control my future.
I was given awareness that I might be grateful for the now.

I got nothing 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.
