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,
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.
"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," I said. "What now? How can I start?"
The Angel said, "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 care to, pass this along
to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.....
