Enjoy my note dear friends. And from me to you guys, 2009 holds many blessings for us and may God smile on us. God bless
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?”
“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 but 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 never lived.”
God’s hand took mine
And we were silent for awhile.
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 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 wound
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 do not yet know how
To express or show their feelings.”
“To learn that it 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 else you like
Your children to know?”
God smiled and said,
“Just know that I am here always.
See you in the coming year.
Purest Love.
