This is one of the
best "message" I have seen:
"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 prayerare 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 bless
ings 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's 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 yourback, 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 wor ld's wealthy.
"And if you
get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in
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 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 are 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.
