Do You Know This Christmas Story?

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 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 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 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 must have been those bastards at the Post Office.

Edna

Ooohh!! This made me bust out laughing! (Still chuckling).
The Poor Postal Workers! LOL.

Thanks for this one. it will be shared many times.

Great, an 8 and a thumbs up.

lmao
hahahhaha

good one

I think I've heard it, yeah. It kind of makes you chuckle, but at the same time, it horrifies me because it shows the utter lack of gratitude that exists in today's world. You have to be thankful for what you've got. Besides, if she tithed properly and truly wanted to be deserving of what God gave her and serve Him in return, there should have been more than $4 missing. He asks 10%. Just a thought.

Very very funny yet touching, Thanks for making my day.

ain't that about a blip?! see, you can't help people out these days, even if they are old ladies!! LOL!!

I have always enjoyed that joke

OMG That is a good one!

ha ha ha
funny

Nice touch! The sequence of events is intelligent, I love it!
