| 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 bastards at the Post Office
