Acknowledge Him Daily!
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 pangs of starvation ..
you are ahead of 700 million people in the world"
"If you can attend a church 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 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 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.
