What Happens in Heaven ?
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's 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."
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 church
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."
Have a great day!
