God's Answers

 God's Answers     A poem by an unknown Confederate Soldier:

I asked 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 wise. 

I asked for power that I might feel the need of God.

I asked for all things that I might enjoy all things.

I got nothing that I asked for.

But everything that I had hoped for.

Almost despite myself my unspoken prayers were answered;

I am among all people, most richly blessed.

    No matter the circumstance, remember to thank God for your blessings.  He has much to teach us.
