The Crystal Lady's:Thought For The Day

5-4-2008
This is a e-mail received from a friend in Arkansas. Author is not known
but it may be some one called "Farmer Jane" I enjoyed it and hope you will too.

I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an Angel was showing me around.
We walked side-by side inside a large work room 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 many Angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets
and scraps from people all over the world.

Then we mover down a long corridor until we reach 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 Acknowledgement 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 blessing that they asked for,
very few send back acknowledgments.
How does one acknowledge God's blessing ?, I asked
"Simple," the Angel answered.
Just say, "Thank you, Lord"

*This is just the beginning of a thoughtful piece. I borrowed it just to introduce my message for today
If we cultivate a habit of looking for the blessing in our life.
Remembering to list them one by one before we go to sleep each night
I would be willing to bet that our list would soon grow bigger with each passing day.
No matter how difficult your life is at the moment you can find some thing to thank God for.
Maybe He will help us to learn how to make lemonade when life deals us a lemon.

Thou Shall Not Steal

When you STEAL something that was produced by another mans labor,
You may have gotten something else other than what you stole.
For along with the item that you took , you also got a debt of Karma.
With the law of Karma, you then opened your self up to suffering a lost
much more than what it was you stole.
The Bible says that what you sow , you will also reap
So my wish for you is instant Karma and a lost so great,
that it will get your attention , and that you may learn the lesson
that comes with the commandment.
"Thou Shall Not Steal "

This Is The First Day of The Rest of My life

This is the first day of the rest of my life.
Many years were spent as a mother and a wife.
I can not count the many lonely nights.
Don’t remember all the endless days.

Lots of different roads I traveled
My paths went many different ways.
Don’t have much to show for my life
Or for the sum total of my days.

No Fame or Fortune ever came my way.
No gold metals were ever won.
I know even less right now today ,
Then when this journey first begun.

So when I get to meet my God,
Maybe He will explain to me His plan.
And if I ever failed Him in some way,
I can only hope that He will understand.

For only He has known the secret of my heart,
For only He has looked deep within my soul.
Although I may be getting ready to depart
Only He knows , if I have achieved my goal

So even if I never any earthly accolades won.
Or the world has never known me by my name.
I hope to hear His voice saying "Well done "
When I have arrived safely home again.

God Bless This Mess.
