A CREED FOR THOSE WHO HAVE SUFERRED:::
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 i might be happy.
I was given poverty, that i might be wise....
I asked for power, that i might hav the praise of men.
I was given weakness, that i might feel the need of God....
I asked for all the things, that i might enjoy life.
I was given life, that i might enjoy all things....
I got nothing I asked for----but everything i had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered .
I , among all the men, am most richly blessed!!!
