I Dreamed I Had An Interview With God - Newsletters - http://maxpages.com/ljwbthisweek/I_Dreamed_I_Interviewed

Author Unknown
"Come in," God said. "So, you would like to interview Me?"

"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?"

"What surprises you most about mankind?"

God answered:
"That they get bored of being children,
are in a 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
neither for the present nor the future.

That they live as if they will never die, and they die as if they had
never lived..."

God took my hands and 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?"

God replied with a smile
"To learn that they cannot make anyone love them.
What they can do is to let themselves be loved.
To learn that what is most valuable
is not what they have in their lives, but who they
have in their lives.

To learn that it is not good to compare themselves
to others. All will be judged individually on their own
merits, not as a group on a comparison basis!

To learn that a rich person is not the one who has
the most, but is one who needs the least.

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.

To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.
To learn that there are persons that love them
dearly, but simply do not know how to express or show their
feelings.

To learn that money can buy everything but happiness.

To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it very
differently.

To learn that a true friend is someone who knows
everything about them...and likes them anyway.

To learn that it is not always enough that they be forgiven by
others, but that they have to forgive themselves."

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 will answer."
With that, He looked into my eyes and whispered these words:

"My dear child, please remember that people will forget what
you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never
forget how you made them feel."
