WHAT
HAPPENS IN HEAVEN WHEN WE
PRAY?
This is one
of the nicest e-mails I have seen and is so
true:
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,
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 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 it.
"
If you have read this
far, and are thankful for all that you have been
blessed with, how can you not send
it on ??? ? I thank God for everything,
especially all my family and
friends.
