What A Wonderful Story
There was a man who worked for the Post Office whose
job it 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 check..
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. I
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 must
have been those b*****ds at the Post Office
