There is a man that works for the Post Office whose job it is to process all the mail that has 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 left alive 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 off to the poor 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,

I don't know if I can ever find the words to express the gratitude I have for what you did for me! Because of your generous gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day and I told all of my friends about your wonderful gift. Thank you so very much!

PS....By the way, there was $4 missing when I recieved your gift. I think it must have been those thieving bastards at the Post Office."
