I asked for . . .

My maternal grandmother, one of the strongest Christian women it has ever been my privilege to know, used to tell me: "never pray for patience; if you do, you'll get it, along with the tribulation to test it. Pray for grsce, instead." This short piece reminded me of her:

I asked for Strength... And God gave me Difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for Wisdom... And God gave me Problems to solve.

I asked for Prosperity... And God gave me Brain and Brawn to work.

I asked for Courage... And God gave me Danger to overcome.

I asked for Love... And God gave me Troubled people to help.

I asked for Favors... And God gave me Opportunities.

I received nothing I wanted... I received everything I needed!
