text: count your blessings...? name them one by one. 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 hoped for. almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. i am, among all men, most richly blessed.
