I dreamed I had an interview with God <BR>--------------------------------------<BR>"Come in," God said. "So, you would like to interview Me?" <BR> <BR>"If you have the time," I said. God smiled and said: "My time is eternity and is enough to do everything; what questions do you have in mind to ask me?" <P>"What surprises you most about mankind?" <BR> <BR>God answered: <BR>That they get bored of being children, are in a rush to grow up, and then long to be children again. <BR> <BR>That they lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health. <BR> <BR>That by thinking anxiously about the future, <BR>they forget the present, such that they live <BR>neither for the present nor the future. <BR> <BR>That they live as if they will never die, and they die as if they had never lived.<BR> <BR>God's hands took mine and we were silent for while and then I asked... "As a parent, what are some of life's lessons you want your children to learn?" <BR> <BR>God replied with a smile: <BR>To learn that they cannot make anyone love them. What they can do is to let themselves be loved. <BR> <BR>To learn that what is most valuable is not what they have in their lives, but who they have in their lives. <BR> <BR>To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others. All will stand or fall on their own merits, not as a group on a comparison basis! <BR> <BR>To learn that a rich person is not the one who has the most, but is one who needs the least. <BR> <BR>To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in persons we love, and that it takes many years to heal them. <BR> <BR>To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness. <BR> <BR>To learn that there are persons that love them dearly, but simply do not know how to express or show their feelings. <BR> <BR>To learn that money can buy everything but happiness. <BR> <BR>To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it totally different. <BR> <BR>To learn that a true friend in someone who knows everything about them...and likes them anyway. <BR> <BR>To learn that it is not always enough that they be forgiven by others, but that they have to forgive as well. <BR> <BR>I sat there for a while enjoying the moment. I thanked Him for his time and for all that He has done for me and my family, and He replied, "Anytime. I'm here 24 hours a day. All you have to do is ask for me, and I'll answer."<P>People will forget what you said. <BR>People will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. <BR>
