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 Hashem 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 Hashem's blessings?' I asked.

'Simple,' the angel answered. Just say, 'Thank you, Hashem.'

'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.'

'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 congregation 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 alive and still married,...you are very rare.'

'If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you're
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 care to, pass this
Along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.

ATTN: Acknowledge Dept.
'Thank you Hakodosh Boruch Hu, for giving me the ability to share this
Message and for giving me so many wonderful people with whom to share
It.'

If you have read this far, and are thankful for all that you have been
Blessed with, how can you not send it on???? I thank Hashem for
Everything, especially all my family and friends!!

A NOAM BENAMY CLASSIC

http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/video?id=7872761

DITMAS PARK, Brooklyn (WABC) -- The folks who live along the MTA's Brighton Line say the train's snow blower damage is bad enough, but that they were lucky it didn't happen when they were in the room when the snow and glass started flying.

While you were sleeping, MTA snow blowers were inadvertently blowing out homeowners windows.

Noam Benamy, 20, photographed MTA snow blowers early Tuesday morning as they pounded his parents' home in Brooklyn's Ditmas Park.

"Sweet holy moley, there's snow all...snow is everywhere. Snow is all over the place, things broken everywhere," Benamy said.

A block down the tracks, there's another home with another blown out window.

Glass shards flew 30 feet down the hall and barely missed Pat Vitacco's son's room.

"If the window had been broken in my son's bedroom, it could have killed him," Vitacco said.

Benamy recorded the damage and the second blast of snow across the MTA tracks.

A third home two blocks away lost its windows too.

Noam's mother is not happy with MTA's early morning wake up call.

"Snow was in our house, crazy, shoveling out snow mixed with glass flown across the room," said Maidelle Goodman Benamy.

The MTA says it has mailed claim forms, and they're investigating the snow blower damage, but the families say MTA hasn't sent anyone letters and that the railroad damaged other properties in the past without offering to pay or fix them.

"We'll mail you claim form, best tell you, I don't have confidence they'll do anything," Benamy said.

But this time Noam has evidence, a lot of broken glass and what looks like several thousand dollars in repair bills.

Another neighbor says he's been fighting MTA for a year to pay for damage he claims the railroad caused to his home.

He's hoping he and his neighbors get satisfaction from the high powered snow blower damage this time.

FROM JARED SCHMIDT:
Wow. Miracle. I'm pulling a Rav Machlis. (For all of you who don't know Rav Machlis, he's a teacher I had at Lev Hatorah this past year who advocated, among many other beautiful practices, the recording of personal miracles in a journal.)
I just got the song "One Day" stuck in my head. So I went on iTunes to buy it (along with like, a bunch of other stuff, cus I got sucked into the consumer mentality...). Ok. Cool. THAT's done...but then I see this nifty thing iTunes does called "Home Sharing." I think it shares all my iTunes purchases on THIS computer with all OTHER computers on any home network I may have. Now. I don't really HAVE a home network, and if I DID, it wouldn't REALLY be necessary for me to share my iTunes purchases with any other computers in my home. But I could do it, so I wanted to.
Unfortunately, when I tried, I found that I forgot my password for my account. So I had to go to Apple online and have them send it to me.
Unfortunately, when I checked my gmail, I didn't see an email from them. So, I took a shot in the dark and I checked my Yahoo account, which I sort of abandoned a few months ago.
Now. I had no email from Apple in my inbox, but I did have an email from a friend who sent out a mass email telling his friends and family that his father is going through open heart surgery tomorrow, Thursday, January 27th, 2011, and asking for us to keep him and his name (Ephraim David ben Sarah) in our thoughts, and our hearts.
I would totally NOT have known about this if not for Apple, iTunes, Matisyahu, and my slightly obsessive nature. Oh. And of course...also if not for God :P
So...thanks, God. You da man, yo.
Just felt like sharing. I'm gunna send this before I get second thoughts about sounding stupid, or something...
Peace and love, chevra, brothers, sisters...
