A touching story,,, by _ShAnE_StArK_ 2016/10/09 12:56
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 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 missing. I think it must have
been those thieving bastards at the Post
Office....
