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 question do you have in mind for me"
"What 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 to make 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 Have never lived."
God's hand took mine
And we were silent for a while."
And then I asked,
"As a parent,
What are some of the 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 it is not good
To compare themselves to others."
"To learn that is only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love
And it can take a many years to heal them."
"To learn that a rich person
Is not the one who has the most,
But is one who needs the least."
"To learn that there are people who love them dearly,But simply do not yet know
How to express or show their feelings."
"To learn that two people can look at the same thing & see it differently."
"To learn that it is not enough that They forgive on another,But they must also forgive themselves."
"Thank you for your time,"I siad humbly.
"Is there anything else you'd like your children to know?"
God smiled & said...
"Just know that I'm here."
"Always."
