THIS IS ONE OF THE NICEST EMAILS 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 FORDELIVERY 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
SEATE 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 YO U 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."
"IF YOU CAN ATTEND A CHURCH MEETING WITHOUT 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 V ERY
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.
ATTN: ACKNOWLEDGE DEPARTMENT: THANK YOU LORD!
THANK YOU LORD, FOR GIVING ME THE ABILITY TO SHARE
THIS MESSAGE AND
FOR GIVING ME SO MANY WONDERFUL PEOPLE TO SHARE IT WITH.
