US Postal Service

There was a man who worked for the Post Office whose job was to process all the mails
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 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 bastards at the Post Office."
