My thanks to David Caldwell of Manitoba for this little piece of humour that I am passing on:

A postal worker was sorting mail when he found a letter addressed to God in very shaky hand writing, he thought that he should at least read it.

It read:

"I am an 85 years old woman, living on my own. Yesterday someone stole my purse containing $100 which is all the money I have until my next pension cheque comes in. Next week is Xmas and I had invited three friends over for dinner. Without that money I canot buy food and I have no family to turn to, you are my only hope. Can you please help me?

Sincerely

Edna."

The postal worker was touched, he showed the letter to his co-workers and they all chipped in a dollar or two until they had $96. He sent it off to her.

One week later another letter arrived addressed to God in the same shaky hand writing. excitedly the postal workers all gathered round and read the letter.

"Dear God

Thank you so much for what you did for me. Because of your gift of love I was able to have my friends for a meal. I told them of your wonderful gift. By the way, there was $4 missing, probably those thieving b......ds at the post office.

love Edna"
