WHAT HAPPENS IN HEAVEN WHEN WE PRAY?

Thank you Beaulah
WHAT  HAPPENS IN HEAVEN WHEN WE  PRAY?  

  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 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.
