His job was to process all mail that  had illegible addresses. One day a letter came to his desk, addressed in shaky handwriting to God. He thought, &#8220;I better open  this one and see what it&#8217;s all about.&#8221; So he opened it and it read:  &#8220;Dear God, I am a 83 year old widow living on a very small  pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had a hundred dollars  in it which was all the money I had until my next pension check.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Next Sunday is Mother&#8217;s Day, and I had invited my last two friends  over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food  with.&#8221; &#8220;I have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope. Can  you please help me?&#8221; The postal worker was touched, and went around  showing the letter to all the others. Each of them dug into his  wallet and came up with a few dollars. By the time he made the  rounds, he had collected 96 dollars, which they put into an envelope  and sent over to her.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of  the nice thing they had done. Mother&#8217;s Day came and went, and a few  days later came another letter from the old lady to God. All the  workers gathered around while the letter was opened. It read,  &#8220;Dear God, How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me?&#8221;  &#8220;Because of your generosity, I was able to fix a lovely dinner for  my friends. We had a very nice day, and I told my friends of  your wonderful gift. &#8221; &#8220;By the way, there was 4 dollars missing. It  was no doubt those thieving bastards at the post office!!!!!! <\/p>\n<p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A man worked in a post office.
