Thank you Lord

[cinch314]

I dreampt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. Wewalked 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 arereceived.'

I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so manyangels 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 secondsection.

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 howbusy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station,

since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged fordelivery to Earth.

Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the doorof a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated

there, idly doing nothing. 'This is the Acknowledgment Section,' myangel 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 thatthey 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 roofoverhead 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 theworld who has that opportunity.'

'If you woke up this morning with more health than illness ... You aremore blessed than the many who will not even survive this day .'

'If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness ofimprisonment, 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'reunique 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 inthat someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more

blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read atall.

Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you want, pass this alongto remind everyone else how blessed we all are.
