Perhaps you are rite with that.  I just am grateful to god for the things he
is gracious enough to give me.  I shouldn't ask him for anything, but I
should be content with what he gives me.  I have been selfish and for that I
am sorry.  God gives us good things because he is our father and he enjoys
to see us happy, but we deserve nothing at all.  We truly need nothing at
all as we will live with him in heaven and these earthly bodies are just
habitations for our souls till we can live with him forever.  I will not ask
for prayer in future.  Thank you for assisting me to see things more
clearly.  I will from now on praise and adore our lord constantly.
Everything else will be done according to his will, and all will work
together for good because I will praise and worship him.  Thank you so much.
I will always be grateful to you.  I knew there was a reason I belonged to
this wonderful and marvelous list.
