One of the Best Emails ...To Lift Your Spirits ...

   Whether you are religious or are not at all....I got this email from a friend I have known for decades and have to say that it gave me grateful  pause.....and I think it will for you as well....thought I would share it this Sunny Sunday and wish you all the very best of the day ! 

 

 

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 everyone else how blessed we all are.
