posted 12-30-2005 12:14 AM          a Christmas story that warms your heart Here's a nice little Christmas story about postal workers on the busiest mail day of the year. :-) There was a worker at the U.S. Post Office whose job it was to process all the mail that had illegible or phony addresses and place them in a dead letter bin. One day, a letter came addressed in a shaky handwriting to God. He thought he should open it since it would eventually be destroyed after being placed in the bin. 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 so 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 old lady to God. All the postal workers gathered around while the letter was opened. It said: 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 thieving s.o.b. b*stards at the Post Office. Love, Edna
