Giving Hope TodayHow precious are your thoughts to me, O GOD! Ps 139:17

Aug 19th A Fanciful Heaven? 1 Corinthians 6:20

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.

Every breath taken, every day you wake up and can open your eyes, enjoy a shower, good food for breakfast, then it is by God’s Grace–the depth of His Love, the depth of His Wisdom, the depth of His Outpouring Spiritual, Infinite, Unbounded, Unchanging Grace!  

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…”
