I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing
me around.
We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled
with angels. My
angel guide stopped in front of the first section and
said, "This is the
Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in
prayer are received."
I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy
with so many
angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper
sheets and
scraps from people all over the world.
Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached
the second
section.
The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and
Delivery
Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked
for are
processed and delivered to the living persons who asked
for them. "I
noticed again how busy it was there. There were many
angels working hard
at that station, since so many blessings had been
requested and were
being packaged for delivery to Earth.
Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we
stopped at the
door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only
one angel was
seated there, idly doing nothing. "This is the
Acknowledgment Section,"
my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed
embarrassed "How is it
that there is no work going on here?" I asked.
"So sad," the angel sighed. "After people receive the
blessings that
they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments ."
"How does one acknowledge God's blessings?" I asked.
"Simple," the angel answered. Just say, "Thank you,
Lord."
"What blessings should they acknowledge?" I asked.
"If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your
back, a roof
overhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of
this world. If
you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare
change in a dish,
you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy ."
"And if you get this on your own computer, you are part
of the 1% in
the world who has that opportunity."
"If you woke up this morning with more health than
illness ... you are more blessed than the many who will not even survive
this day."
"If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the
loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of
starvation ... you are ahead of 700 million people in the world."
"If you can attend a church without the fear of
harassment, arrest,
torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed
than, three billion people in the world!."
"If your parents are still alive and still married
...you are very rare."
"If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the
norm, you're unique to all those in doubt and despair."
Ok, what now? How can I start?
If you can read this message, you just received a double
blessing in
that someone was thinking of you as very special and you
are more
blessed than over two billion people in the world who
cannot read at all.
Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you want,
pass this
along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.
