I RECEIVED EVERYTHING

I thought it was interesting that in this season of giving and receiving that I chanced upon this poem – Enjoy.
I RECEIVED EVERYTHING
I asked God for strength and God gave me difficulties to make me strong.
I asked God 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 be 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 asked 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.
