Wink Letter to God

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 to
his desk addressed, in a shaky handwriting, to God. He thought he should
open it to see what it was about. He opened it and 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 of them dug into his wallet and came up with
a few dollars. By the time he made the rounds, he had collected
$96.00, which they put into an envelope and sent to the woman.
The rest of the day, all of the workers felt a warm glow for the
kind thing they had done. Christmas came and went.

A few days later, another letter came from the old lady, addressed
to God. All of 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 !!!!!!!s at
the Post Office."

Sincerely,
Edna
