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 smile
My time is eternity …
… what questions do you have in mind for me ?
" What surprises you most about humankind ?"
God answered :
" That thay 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 their present , such that they live in neither the present nor the fututer ."
" That they live asif they will never die , and die as though they had never lived ."
God’s hand took mine and we were silent for a while
And then I asked :
" As a parents , what are some life’s lessons you want your children to learn ?"
" To learn they can not 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 to forgive by practicing 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 the 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 do not yet know how to express or show their feelings "
" To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently "
" To learn that is not enough that they forgive one another ,but they must also forgive themselves "
" Thank you for your time " I said humbly
" Is there anything you would like your children to know ?"
God smiled and said …
" Just know that I am here ."
" Always ."
