Through My Eye's

Through My Eye's

Date: 2012-12-12
How many of us dream of that one on one with our heroes? Just a little chat over coffee with people who inspire us and who could possible contribute positively to our lives. As a journalist I guess since I had one on one with my most revered individual the Dalai Lama number two on my list would be the first in command - Imagine having an interview with God.

I shudder to think, what would I ask him if I had a chance. Here is Reata Strickland interview with God. What would you ask God if you were given this opportunity?

"Interview with God

I dreamed I had an interview with God. "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'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?"

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 it takes years to build trust, and a few seconds to destroy it. 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 totally different. To learn that a true friend is someone who knows everything about themand loves 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 hope this will inspire you this Festive Season!
