Thank You Lord

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends in TBP,

 

Love and Love alone...

 

Here is another one. It simply shows how we should feel contended

and how we should acknowledge the blessings bestowed on us by God.

Let us try to follow.

 

Love and Love alone....

This is one of the nicest mails I have ever come across :

 

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 "

 

" 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.
