My sister sent this to me today.
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's 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."
>>
>>
>> Also ....
>>
>> "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 meeting 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 are 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.
>>
>> Attn: 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."

I love this, how true it is. We forget to acknowledge when things are all good, but boy do we remember when our lives are turned upside down. I will remember to acknowledge from now on. I hope your day is better than the 19th and that Lewis is somewhat better with the Meds. I know how hard it is, went through with my Daddy. Love ya my friend Melissa
