Postal Respect<br /><br /><br />A postal worker was sorting mail a week before Christmas when he came across a letter addressed to God. Since it would be destroyed he decided to open the letter and read it.<br /><br /><br />Dear God,<br /><br />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.<br /><br /><br />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?<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Edna<br /><br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br /><br />Dear God,<br /><br />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.<br /><br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Edna
