WHAT HAPPENS IN HEAVEN

 

This is one of the nicest e-mails I have seen and is so true:

 

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 a re 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, arres t, 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.

 

ATTENTION:

Acknowledge Dept.: 'Thank you Lord, for giving me the

ability to share this message and for giving me so many

wonderful people to share it with.'

;

If you have read this far, and are thankful for all that

you have been blessed with, how can you not send it on????

I thank God for everything, especially all my family and

friends!!

this with us.

 

I'm sure this is very true, that people ask but then forget to say "Thank You".

 

Lord, I too thank you so much for all you have done for me and given to me.

It's so easy to forget to say thank you... Thank you Lord for all that you have blessed me and my family with....

Point well taken...When was the last time you counted your blessings? "Thank you God for all of mine!"
