THE INTERVIEW WITH GOD
I dreamed I had an interview with god .
So you would like to interview me ? God asked .
If you have the time ? I said .
God smiled : my time is eternity .
What questions do you have in mind for me ?
Wat surprises you most about humankind ?
God answered ...
That they get bored with childhood ,
they rush to grow up , and then ...
long to be children again .
That they lose their health tomake money ...
and then lose their money to restore their health .
That by thinking anxiously about the future ,
they forget the present ,
such that they live in neither the present nor the future .
That they live as if they will never die ...
and die as though they had never lived .
We were silent for a while .
And then I asked ...
As a parent , what are some of life's lessons you want your children to learn ?
To learn they cannot make anyone love them .
All they can do
is let themselves be loved .
To learn that is not good to compare themselves to others .
To learn to forgive by parcticing forgiveness .
To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love
and it can take many years to heal them .
To learn that a rich person
is not one who has the most,but is one who needs the least .
TO learn that there are people who love them dearly ,
but simply have not yet learned how to express or shoew their feelings .
To learn that two people can ,
look at the same thing and see it differently .
To learn that it is not enough that thay
forgive one another ,but they must also forgive themselves .
" Thank you for your time ," I said
Is there anything else you would like your " children to know " ?
God smiled and said , just know that I am here ... always .
GOOD LUCK
