Verse of the Week !!!

From this week I plan to add a 'verse of the week'. Since its the onset of a new year, its the perfect time to start a new dimension to the blog. Let me make it clear that not all verses are written by me so dont think of me as some great philosopher or poet...

Heres the first one ...

A Creed for Those Who Have Suffered

I asked God for strength to achieve. I was made weak so that I might learn humbly to obey...

I asked for health to do greater things. I was given infirmity so that I might do better things...

I asked for riches to be happy. I was given poverty so that I might be wise...

I asked for power to be praised by men. I was given weakness so that I might feel the need of God...

I asked for all things to enjoy life. I was given life so that I might enjoy all things...

I got nothing I asked for, but everything I hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.

I, among all men, am most richly Blessed ...
