There was a man who worked
for the Post Office whose job it
was to process all the mailthat
had illegible addresses. One
day, a letter came addressed in
a shaky handwriting to God. He thought he shouldopen 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 someon e stole my
purse. It had Ksh.1000 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, Elizabeth 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 Ksh.
960, 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 Elizabeth 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 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 Ksh.40
missing. I think it must have been those thieving bastards at
the Post Office. Punish them father for they couldn't
see the Glory in your name.
