Thank You Lord

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 prayers 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 from 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 Packing 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 section, 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 work station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledgement Section," my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarassed. " How is that? There`s no work going on here?" I asked.

"So sad , " the angel sighed. " After people receive the blessings that they have asked for, very few send back acknowledgents.

"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 fridge, clothes on your back a roof over your head 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 read this on your own computer you are one of the 1% of 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 meetimg 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 are more blessed than over two million people in the world world who cannot read at all.

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

"Thank you Lord , for giving me the ability to share this message with you.
