ACKNOWLEDGE GOD'S BLESSINGS

 

    A newly arrived soul in Heaven was met by an angel.  The angel toured the soul around Heaven.   Both of them walked side by side inside  a large
workroom filled with other angels.
    The angel stopped in front ofthe first section and said,  "This is the Receiving Section."  Here, all the petitions to God said in prayer are received.  The soul looked at thesection, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets from all the people of the world.
    They walked again until they reached the 2nd section, and theangel told the soul, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section.  Here, the graces and  blessings the people asked for are packed and delivered to the persons who asked for them down on earth."
    The soul saw how busy it was. There were so many angels working in that room, since so many Blessings  were being packed and delivered  to  earth.  Finally at the farthest corner of the room, the soul stopped at the last section.   To the surprise of the soul, only one angel stayed there idly, doing nothing.  "This is the Acknowledging Section," the angel told the soul.  "How is it that there is no work here?" "That's the sad thing," the angel answered.  "After the people receive the blessings they asked
for, very few send their  acknowledgements."  "How does one acknowledge God's blessing?" "Simple," the angel answered.  "Just say, 'Thank you, Lord'."
 

"O give thanks to the God of heaven, for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever!"
Psalm 136:26
