My girlfriend from golf team told us about this poem. We all desire to follow our own plans based on what we think is best for our lives. She and I both realized after our own journey how important to appreciate our everyday life with peace of mind, love and joy.
A CREED FOR THOSE WHO HAVE SUFFERED
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 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 had hoped for
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am among all men, most richly blessed!
