Words from the Master

A small story:

A man dreamt that he went to Heaven and that an Angel was showing him around Heaven.
They walked side-by-side.
First, they entered a large workroom filled with many Angels.
The room was bustling with activity.
The Angel guide stopped and explained to the man, “This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God that are received through prayer are sorted out.”
The man looked around and saw that it was terribly busy with so many Angels sorting out petitions written on different pieces of paper - long sheets, scrap sheets and what not. They were from people all over the world, in different languages.
Then they moved on and entered a second section.
This section was also filled with many busy Angels and lots of packages and papers.
The guide Angel explained, “This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings that the people asked for, are processed and delivered to them on Earth below.”
They walked on and at the end of the long corridor they stopped at the door of a small room.
To the man’s surprise, only one Angel was seated there, bent over the desk.
The man asked the Angel, “How come this section is so quiet? Which section is this?”
The Angel friend quietly replied, “This is the Blessings Acknowledgment Section. The acknowledgements sent by the people for the blessings that they have received, are meant to be processed here.”

We all ask and ask, but how many of us thank for what we have received? How many of us include gratitude in our prayer along with our asking?
