A shift can change a person,
a life,
the world,
or it can simply change the way you move through it. -4.22.03
SHIFT_foward
A shift is both an invitation and a challenge. A
challenge to open your mind to the unfamiliar. To reevaluate the familiar. And to ask different questions than the ones everyone
else is asking. -4.14.03
A bubble... an area in which we
live in the identical routine... Our
comfort zone... will we ever break out and change? Will we be able to change? For Your sake? Give us strength and help us. For what U have given us... a small change in our life is all we can offer
to honor and worship You... to live a life worthy of Yours. -4.6.03
THE INTERVIEW WITH GOD
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 by 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 if they had never lived.
Gods hand took mine
and we were silent for a while.
And
then I asked...
As a parent, what are some of lifes 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 wounds 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 persons
who
love them dearly,
but simply have not yet learned
how to express or show their feelings.
To learn that two
people can
look at the same thing
and see it differently.
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 would like your children to know?"
GOD smiled and said,
Just know that I am here... always.
