A man worked in a post office. His job was to process
all mail that had illegible addresses.
One day a letter came to his desk, addressed in a
shaky handwriting to God. He thought, "I better open
this one and see what it's all about."
So he opened it and it read:
"Dear God, I am an 83 year old widow living on a very
small pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It
had a hundred dollars in it which was all the money I
had until my next pension check."
"Next Sunday is Easter, 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?"
The postal worker was touched, and went around showing
the letter to all the others.
Each of them dug into his wallet and came up with a
few dollars. By the time he made the rounds, he had
collected 96 dollars, which they put into an envelope
and sent over to her.
The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow
thinking of the nice thing they had done.
Easter came and went, and a few days later came
another letter from the 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 generosity, I was able to fix a
lovely 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 dollars missing. It was no
doubt those thieving bastards at the post office."
