This is one of the nicest mails I have seen and is so
true:
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 ask 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 worlds wealthy.
"And if you get this on your own computer, you are part
of the
1% in the world
who has that opportunity."
Also.....
"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 religious meeting 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.
"Attn:
Acknowledge Dept. Thank You Lord! Thank you
Lord,
for giving me the
ability to share this message and for giving
me so many wonderful people to share it
with"..
