subject: Are We Thankful Enough?

WHAT HAPPENS IN HEAVEN

This is one of the nicest e-mails I have seen, and it really puts things into perspective..

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

Acknowledge Dept:
‘Thank you Lord, for giving me the ability to share this message and for giving me so many wonderful people to share it with.’

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 especially for all my family and friends!!

My heart is broken because my mother won’t speak to me. I keep having terrible dreams of her ridding me from her life. Her last words to me were not pleasant and although I’d like to call her, I feel like my call would go ignored. In fact in our last conversation she requested that I not call her. Did she mean it? I love her but she breaks my heart.

I’m trying to seek joy in my life and it seems when I finally find it in one area, another goes to the crapper.

I haven’t been going to church. I pray less frequently. I know I am missing Him. How do I get back? I have a lot of CD’s.. maybe I should start there?

I dyed my hair darker today. I like it. I also love my boyfriend. I don’t know where I would be without him right now.

In the darkness, I seek the light

With a heavy heart, there is no right.

Blurried vision and no hope

don’t want anyone to help me cope.

alone I feel and just need to remain

no one should ever have to feel my pain

God help me overcome this, I pray

otherwise lost forever I will stay

I’ve been thinking about an old friend lately. I lost touch with him a few months ago but I have his number. I am going to text him soon and see how he is doing. I admired him for what he had turned his back on to pursue. He also had a great laugh.

I have lost touch with a lot of people. Some I miss.

Over the years I would have liked to have gathered all the folks I considered awesome into a large group that I could carry around. They would be my company on nights I felt alone.

I am completely in love with my guy.

Tonight after work I meet with the counselor. It’s a beautiful day and I have to work until seven. I didn’t get a call from the company so I’m assuming they decided to go with someone else. It means I have to keep looking for something. I have two months. :-)

Have a Blessed day everyone!

Thank you everyone for your prayers.

The second interview went well. I felt over-dressed because the owner has jeans and a t-shirt on but we really hit it off. She still had a few more people to interview but told me I would know at the latest tomorrow morning if I got the position. As she spoke of the position, I began to see how I could make it my own. So I hope it is God’s will I get this job but if not then He still has plans for better things.

Today my boyfriend told me that this Friday I willl get to meet his sister (before she flies off to Cali, where his mom lives). We’re all going to see a movie. I hope she likes me, she is my way in with his mom. I’m not as nervous as I would normally be because I know how much I love my guy.

Things really seem to be looking up. Well I’m noticing the positive things again. I still have a meeting with a counselor tomorrow night. :-)
