There was a man who worked for the Post Office whose
job 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 payment.

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 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 round she 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 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 was those bastards at the post office.

Sincerely Edna

Two thoughts on that. 1) That's what you get for playing God. 2) No good deed goes unpunished. Good story. Dave
