Thank you God !


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, God”.

"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."

"If you can attend a prayer meeting without the
fear of harassment,
arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and
more blessed than,
three billion people in the world."

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 want, pass this
along to remind everyone else how blessed we all
are.

Attn: Acknowledgment Dept:
Thank You God! Thank you God, for giving me the
ability to share this
message and for giving me so many wonderful
people to share it with".
