WHAT HAPPENS IN HEAVEN

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 place of worship 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.

Hmmm..needed THAT one today!

Thank you for blessing us Dotsie...and Thank You Lord for my life as I have most of what is mentioned above.

Thank you for that wonderful story, Dotsie. I had read it before but needed to read it again. It's very powerful.

I'd heard this before too, but it's soemthing we need to be reminded of often.

It's hard to believe only 1% have computers when I know I couldn't live without one.
