The letter

[Auset32]

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. 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 $100.00 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
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 $4.00 missing. I think it must have been those thieving bastards at the Post
Office.

Sincerely,
Edna 3
