This is one of the nicest
e-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 asked
for, very few send back acknowledgments .'
'How does one acknowledge God's blessings?' I asked.
'Simple,' the angel answered. Just say,
Thank you, GOD.'
'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 .'
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 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.'
Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you want, pass this along to
remind everyone else how blessed we all are.
