What Happens in Heaven

Thanks mom, I loved this one!!!




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 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.'
Okay, 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. Thank God for everything, especially all my family and
friends!
