I got this today and wanted to share it with all of my Goat Talk friends....Thank you, Lord
WHAT HAPPENS IN HEAVEN
This is one of the nicest e-mails I have seen
and is so true:
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.'
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
care to, pass this along to remind someone 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???? I thank God for everything,
especially all my family and friends!!
