“For men and women are not only themselves; they are also the region in which they are born, the city apartment or farm in which they learnt to walk, the games they played as children, the old wives tales they overheard, the food they ate, the schools they attended, the sports they followed, the poets they read, and the God they believed in. It is all these things that have made them what they are, and these are the things that you can’t come to know by hearsay…” ― W. Somerset Maugham, The Razor’s Edge”

I Prayed for strength and God gave me difficulties to make me strong.I Prayed for wisdom and God gave me problems to solve.I Prayed for prosperity and God gave me brawn and brains to work.
I Prayed for courage and God gave me dangers to overcome.I Prayed for patience and God placed me in situations where I was forced to wait.I Prayed for love and God gave me troubled people to help.I Prayed for favors and God gave me opportunities.I Prayed for everything so I could enjoy life. Instead, He gave me life so I could enjoy everything.I received nothing I wanted, I received everything I needed.
