My beautiful friend, DJ King, just shared this poem with me. I really liked it. Guess it reminds me that I have to be careful what I ask for!

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 brawn and brains to work.

    I asked for courage and
    God gave me dangers to overcome.

    I asked for patience and
    God placed me in situations where I was forced to wait.

    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.

    My prayers have all been answered.
