I am, among all, most richly blessed
I asked God for strength, that I might achieve; I was made weak, that I might learn to humbly 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 give 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 for 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 had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.
I am, among all, most richly blessed.

You better get a tear in your eye
Or I will beat the crap out of you.

You could have used that title for the previous post too.....
How sweet of you. Hey! Are you hitting on my wife? I am a very jealous husband you know. Ok ok..must control myself. How sweet you are Neil. Yes, I am very lucky and blessed to have found 2 wonderful dogs to hang out with us the whole day. Ok ok..I mean because I got married to the woman of my dreams!
feedo: Hitting on your wife? Well, after the marriage is a little too late, wouldn't you say.....
Take it as a compliment - I don't give them out very often - even when they're deserved.
I'm sure you're most richly blessed (well okay, except for when you misbehave and then, oh boy!)
Hey Neil...married women are the best I tell you..and Im not just saying this because Im married to one. They really are!
Feedo: Well, I'm sure in your case it's true, but what about women who were married, but were then widowed? Let's just say bad experience there. Maybe I'll start with single and work my way up to married.....
