Post Office............. Priceless
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 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 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, 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  might have been those bastards at the post office. 

Sincerely,  Edna
