Christmas Spirit

Here's a little story to get you into the spirit of the season . . . .

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 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 93 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 ...but 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 of the

other workers in the Post Office and 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 poor 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, also 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 all my dear 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.
