| There was a man who worked for the Post Office whose job was to process all the mail that had illegible addresses. |
| One day, a letter came addressed in a shaky handwriting to God with no actual address. He thought he should open it to see what it was about. |
| The letter read: |
| Dear God, |
| I am an 83 year old widow, living on a very small pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had $100 in it, which was all the money I had until my next pension payment. Next Sunday is Christmas, and I had invited two of my friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with, have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope. Can you please help me? |
| Sincerely, Edna |
| The postal worker was touched. He showed the letter to all the other workers. Each one dug into his or her wallet and came up with a few dollars. |
| By the time he made the rounds, he had collected $96, which they put into an envelope and sent to the woman.. |
| The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of Edna and the dinner she would be able to share with her friends. |
| Christmas came and went. |
| A few days later, another letter came from the same old lady to God. All the workers gathered around while the letter was opened. |
| It read: |
| Dear God, |
| How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me? Because of your gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your wonderful gift. By the way, there was $4 missing. I think it might have been those bastards at the post office. |
| Sincerely,Edna |
