>This is one of the nicest mails I have seen: > >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 are >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.
