A Letter to God (Funny)

There was  a man who worked for the Post Office whose job  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 payment. 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, 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 might have been those bastards at the  post office.

SINCERELY,
Edna
