> > 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 pounds. 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 was those bastards at the Post Office.
