Your station in life.. be happy...

Here let me try to put things in the right perspective...

I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around.

We walked side-by-side inside a large work-room filled with cute little angels.

My angel-guide stopped in front of the first section and said,

"This is the Receiving Section. Here, all those petitions to God said in prayer are received."

I looked around the area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on

voluminous papersheets and scraps from people all over the world.

Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.

My 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.'

I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard in that station too,

since the many blessings requested were being packaged for delivery on Earth.

Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the entrance of a very small station.

To my surprise, only one angel was seated there, doing nothing.

" This is the Acknowledgment Section," my angel friend quietly admitted to me.

He seemed embarrassed.

" Why is it that there is no work going on here? " I asked.

" So sad," the angel sighed. "After people receive the blessings they asked for,

very few send back any acknowledgment.."

" 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.

Here facts speak.....

'If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep over,

you are richer than 75% of the people in this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet,

and spare change stuffed somewhere, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.'

'If you get this mail 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 today.'

'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, a mosque, a temple, a synagogue-

without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death, you are

envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in the world. '

'If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm,

you're unique when compared to all those multitudes in doubt and despair.'

'If your parents are still alive and still married...you are the rarest of the rare.'

What now?

'If you can read this message, you are more blessed than

over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.'

Thank you and enjoy the rest of your week-end!

Love,
