I asked God
What is the problem with
children
God said the problem with children is
"That children 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
After a long period,
I said,
"May
I ask you another question?"
"As a Parent,
what would you ask your
children to do?"
God replied with a smile:
"To learn that they cannot make anyone love
them.
What is important is who they
love."
"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.
There will be others better or worse than they are."
"To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most,
but is one who needs the
least."
"To learn that they should control their
attitudes,
otherwise their attitudes will control
them."
"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 show
their feelings."
"To learn that money can buy everything
but happiness."
"To learn that while at times they may be
entitled to be upset,
that does not give
them the right
to upset those around them."
"To learn that great dreams do not require
great wings,
but a landing gear to
achieve."
"To learn that true friends are
scarce,
he/she who has found one has found
a true treasure.
"To learn that it is not always enough that
they be forgiven by others,
but that they
forgive themselves."
