WHAT HAPPENS IN HEAVEN
I dreamed
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 Acknowledgement 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."
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 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.
