A certain man died and went to heaven. He was granted a chance to go round God's premises and below was his observations as the angel Gabriel took him around.
They entered the first department, a very big hall where so many angels (in their millions) were busy sorting letters. The man was surprised and asked in amusement, "what are they doing?"
Gabriel answered, "they are sorting letters of prayer requests according to their categories, for people who are pick, seeking jobs, need deliverance, for divine intervention etc.
They moved into the next department where they say almost the same set up, but this time, the angels were packing letters into boxes and sealing then. Again, the man asked what they were doing and the angel told him that they were sealing God's letter in reply to the request made by people on earth for healing, jobs and so on.
Lastly, they went to the last department where they saw only one man sitting and dozing with nothing much to en. This time, the man asked the angel slowly, "why is this man sitting here?" Gabriel turned and looked at the man, this department is not always as busy as the other ones. The angel here is supposed to be receiving letters of thanksgiving from people on earth who have received their replies of blessing, healing and so on... From God, but none of them seem to remember where the blessings came from. That is why this department has only one man to take care of all the duties, and he is never busy, that's why you see him dozing
The man's heart was moved, tears dropped from his eyes and he wished he could go back to Earth to inform his brothers and sisters of what he saw.
Writing a letter to God?
Send God a Thank you Note!
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
Psalm 100Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Ephesians 5:20Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Philippians 4:6In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
