WHAT HAPPENS IN HEAVEN WHEN WE
PRAY?
This is one of the nicest e-mails
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 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 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're unique to all those in doubt and
despair......."
"Ok," I said. "What now?
How can I start?"
The Angel said, "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 care to, pass this along to remind everyone
else how blessed we all are..........
ATTN: Acknowledge
Dept.
"Thank you Lord, for
giving me the ability to share this message and for giving me so many
wonderful people with whom to share."
If you have read this
far, and are thankful for all that you have been blessed with, how can you
not send it?
I thank God for everything, especially for all of my
family and friends.
