An 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?’ – I asked.
God answered:
‘That they get bored with being children; are in 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 their future,
they forget the present, such that they live neither
for the present nor for the future.
That they live as if they will never die, 
and die as if they had never lived…’

God’s hands shook and we were silent for a while.
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 how they have in their lives.
To learn that it is not good to compare
themselves to others….

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 person we love
and that it takes many years to heal them.
 
To learn that there are people who 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 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’

                        People will forget what you said,
                        People will forget what you did,
                          But people will never forget
                          How you made them feel.

Once upon a time , in a village there lived a farmer and he had a beautiful daughter. A young man wished to marry the farmer's beautiful daughter. He went to the farmer for his permission.the farmer looked him over and said, "Son, go and stand out in that field. I am going to release three bulls, one at a time and what you have to do is that you have to catch the tail of any one of the three bulls, and if you are successful in this task you can marry my daughter."


The young man stood in the pasture awaiting the first bull.

The barn door opened and out ran meanest-looking,the biggest bull he had ever seen.He decide that one of the next bull had to be the better choice than this one, so he ran over to the side and let the bull pass the pasture out the back gate.

The barn door opened again. Unbelievable. He had never seen so big and fierce in his life. It stood pawing the ground, grunting, slinging slobber as it eyed him.Whatever the next bull was like, it had to be better choice than this one. So he ran to the fence and let the bull pass through the pasture, out the back gate.

The door opened a third time. A smile came across his face. This was the weakest, scrawniest little bull he had ever seen. This one was his bull. As bull came running by, he positioned himself just right and jumped at just moment. He grabbed ... but the bull had no tail!

Life is full of opportunities. Some will be easy to take advantage of, some will be difficult. But once we let them pass (often in hopes of something better), those opportunities may never again be available. So always grab the first opportunity..

Grab the first oppurtunity

Stress Management, Put the Glass Down

While teaching stress management to an audience, a psychologist walked around in a room with a glass of water in her hand. As she raised a glass of water, everyone in the audience expected they'd be asked the "Half Empty or Half Full" question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired : "How much heavy is this glass of water?"

Answer called out ranged from 8 oz to 20 oz.

She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem but if I hold it for an hour, I will have ache in my arm and if I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, Does the weight of the glass change? NO , but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

She continued, "The worries and stresses in life are like glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed - incapable of doing anything."

It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don’t carry them through the evening and into the night. 
Remember to put the glass down!

A Touching story on Friendship, an Inspiring one. It will definitely touch your heart !!!!!!!!

In a battle, a soldier was preparing himself in order to bring his wounded friend back from the field.


His Captain said,

"Its of no use soldier! Your friend must have been dead".

But soldier still goes & brings back his friend.

And soldier returns with his dead body.

Looking at the dead body, Captain says,
"I told you its of no worth. He's dead".

The soldier replies with moist eyes:
"No sir, it was really of worth.... .."

When I got to him, my friend saw me, smiled & said his last words:

"I KNEW YOU WOULD COME"...

Moral:

True, Trustworthy, Rare, Precious, Strong friends... are always there when you need them the most....
Never ever leave such friends.

Key to Happiness

When I was 6-7 years old, my mother every now and then used to make breakfast food for dinner, and I remember one night in particular when she had returned home after a long, hard working day, she had made dinner for us.

My mother placed a plate of bread, ketchup, butter and extremely burned biscuits in front of my father.
I was waiting to see if anyone had noticed!!!. Yet what my father did was that , he reach for his biscuit, smiled at my mom and asked me "How was my day at School ?" 


I really don't remember what reply I had given to my father for that question, but I remember one thing for sure that he was putting butter on that biscuit and was eating each and every bite!!!

That evening when I had finished dinner and was leaving the table, I remember that my mother apologize to my father for burned biscuits, and I will never forget the answer my father gave: "Dear, I love burned biscuits."

Later that night, when I and my father were watching TV , I asked my father did he really liked his burned biscuits.My father wrapped me in his arms and said, "Your Mother had a hard working day at work today and she's real tired. And besides – "A little burned biscuits will never hurt anyone!"

Life is full of imperfect people and imperfect things. I'm hardly best at anything, even I forget anniversaries and birthdays just like everyone else. But what I've learned over the years is that, the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship are learning to accept each others faults and choosing to celebrate each others differences.

And that's my advice for you today, learn to take the bad, the ugly , and  the good parts of your life and lay them in front of God.  Because in the end, he's the only one who will be able to give you a relationship where a burnt biscuit isn't a deal-breaker! 

We could extend this to any relationship. In fact, understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship! 

"Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket – keep it in your own."

Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle. 

"Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point."

                  God Bless You..... Now, and Always.... 

So Please pass me a biscuit, and yes, the burnt one will do just fine.!.!.!.! And PLEASE pass this along to someone who has enriched your life... I just did!"

So many of us are very quick to argue, get angry, or even end relationships over pretty small things. It is more important to appreciate people for who they are and not to focus on there mistakes. You would not want someone to point out your every mistake so why do it to others ? In fact when someone makes a mistake it is more important to show your love on that moment than to criticize. Not only will that expression of love will stick out and always be remembered, it will help to further deeper the bond of your relationship. 

So let the burned biscuits of life go and be grateful for what you do have.
