Happy Lenten Season

 

Was wonderful to get this,  and had to  share it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 This  is one of the nicest e-mails I have forwarded:

 I  dreamed 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  you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you 're

 unique to  all those in doubt and despair......."

 

 "OK,"  I said. "What now? How can I start?"

 

 The  Angel said, "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..........

 

 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

 

 Especially  my "E-Buds"!

 

If you don't  believe in the "POWER" of prayer, try it...
