Okay, so... 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

No good deed goes unpunished.

That pretty much covers it. If ONLY the postal workers would promise Edna eternal life....

Hilarious. They should reply back. Don't blame the postal workers, the $4 I kept as your tithing payment, lol.

Not logical. The tithe would have been $15 at least but I roared with laughter at your brilliant concept.

@FrayedBear Don’t complain about tithes. Those pastors need those jet planes where they can fly around the world without refueling

@abyers1970 Who says I'm complaining? Simply being a little more realistic than the quick witted @GrooshStar!

@FrayedBear my post was a sarcastic joke. I wasn’t saying you were complaining

Reading @abyers1970 and @FrayedBear back and forth is comical. It's apparent things don't get translated into words the same as we think of them or say them. Sarcasm doesn't come across well in writing.

Just goes to show, there's no completely pleasing some people, lol! Edna's still pretty demanding....
