Appreciation of Generousity
There was this fellow who worked in a post office whose job it was to process all mail that had illegible addresses. One day a
letter came to his desk, addressed in a shaky handwriting to God.
He thought, "Oh boy, better open this one and see what it's all about."
So he opened it and read , "Dear God, I am an 85 year old widow living on a very small pension. Yesterday
someone stole my purse. It had a 110 in it which was all the money I had until my next pension check. Next Sunday is
Easter, 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?"
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 some money. By the time he made the rounds, he had collected 95.50, which they put into an envelope and sent over to
her. The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of the nice thing they had done.
Easter 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, ...
" Dear God, How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me? 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. By the way, there was
4.50 missing. It was probably those thieving ba*tards at the post office. "
