Meditation:
    From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another.
    —John 1:16 (NIV)
Quotation:
    God usually answers our prayers according rather to the measure of His own magnificence, than to that of our asking; so that we often do not know His [benefits] to be those for which we besought Him.
    ... Coventry Patmore (1823-1896), The Rod, the Root, and the Flower [1895], London: G. Bell and Sons, 1907, p. 14 (see the book)
