      <description>&lt;h2&gt;THE INTERVIEW WITH GOD&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I dreamed I had an interview with God.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;So you would like to interview me?&amp;rdquo; God asked.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;If you have the time&amp;rdquo; I said.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;God smiled. &amp;ldquo;My time is eternity.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;What questions do you have in mind for me?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;What surprises you most about humankind?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;God answered&amp;hellip;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;That they get bored with childhood,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;they rush to grow up, and then&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;long to be children again.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;That they lose their health to make money&amp;hellip;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;and then lose their money to restore their health.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;That by thinking anxiously about the future,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;they forget the present,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;such that they live in neither&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;the present nor the future.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;That they live as if they will never die,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;and die as though they had never lived.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;God&amp;rsquo;s hand took mine&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;and we were silent for a while.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And then I asked&amp;hellip;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;As a parent, what are some of life&amp;rsquo;s lessons&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;you want your children to learn?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;To learn they cannot make anyone&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;love them. All they can do&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;is let themselves be loved.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;To learn that it is not good&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;to compare themselves to others.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;To learn to forgive&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;by practicing forgiveness.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;To learn that it only takes a few seconds&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;to open profound wounds in those they love,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;and it can take many years to heal them.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;To learn that a rich person&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;is not one who has the most,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;but is one who needs the least.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;To learn that there are people&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;who love them dearly,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;but simply have not yet learned&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;how to express or show their feelings.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;To learn that two people can&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;look at the same thing&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;and see it differently.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;To learn that it is not enough that they&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;Thank you for your time,&amp;rdquo; I said humbly.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;Is there anything else&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;you would like your children to know?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;God smiled and said,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;Just know that I am here&amp;hellip; always.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>
