"SO MANY JUST DON'T KNOW"

 

          

So many people just don't know,

when they die, where they will go.

 

For there is a Heaven up ahead,

and there is a hell below to dread.

 

So many people just aren't sure,

where they'll spend for evermore.

 

But there's no need for us to fear,

for the Word of God is very clear.

It is not something to be ignored,

for all men will soon see The Lord.

 

All men will see Judgment my friend,

when this life comes to an end.

 

Open The Word and you will see,

there's much to read on Eternity.

 

Some may even be surprised,

if they would only open up their eyes.

There is indeed a Hell to shun,

eternal darkness that's far from fun,

 

It's not the place of one's desire,

but a bottomless pit of eternal fire.

 

There is indeed Heaven to gain,

God's time ahead of eternal reign,

 

Where we will reign from Paradise ,

in the presence of Jesus Christ.

Some will be judged for their life,

on how they lived for Jesus Christ,

 

Others shall be judged for unbelief,

and for them there'll be no relief.

 

To outer darkness they'll be consigned,

away from Christ for all time.

 

But by God's amazing Grace,

for all believers He's prepared a place.

Many will go where they go,

simply because they chose not to know,

 

Instead choosing to believe a lie;

nothing happens to us when we die.

 

Whether or not they want to believe,

the Truth of Eternity all shall see.

 

But much too late to choose to know,

where in eternity they would go.

 

    "What Happens in Heaven"
 
                     
     I dreamed 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's 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.
 
     "If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your
     back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep ... you are
     richer than 75% of this world. "If you have money in
     the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish,
     you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
 
     "And if you get this on your own computer, you are
     part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity."
 
     Also ....
 
     "If you woke up this morning with more health than
     illness .... you are more blessed than the many who
     will not even survive this day.
 
     "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.
 
     "If you can attend a church meeting without the fear
     of harassment, arrest, torture or death . you are
     envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people
     in the world.
 
     "If your parents are still alive and still married ..
     you are very rare.
 
     If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not
     the norm, you are unique to all those in doubt and
     despair."
 
     Ok, what now? How can I start?
 
     If you can read this message, you just received a
     double blessing in that someone was thinking of you as
     very special and you are more blessed than over two
     billion people in the world who cannot read at all.
 
     Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you
     want, pass this along to remind everyone else how
     blessed we all are.
 
     Attn: Acknowledge Dept.: Thank You Lord!
     "Thank you Lord, for giving me the ability to share
     this message and for giving me so many wonderful
     people to share it with."

 

Have a Blessed Day

Dave and Barbara
