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'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 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."
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.
Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you
want, pass this along to remind everyone else how
blessed we all are.
